| Holder(s) : | Ludovic Noels |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | This course has the puropose of presenting new numerical methods under development. Apart from the theoretical presentation of these methods, the goal pursued by these new developments, their state-of-the-art, and the future challenges are discussed. Among these methods, one can find
- Meshless methods
- Extended finite element methods (XFEM)
- Discontinuous Galerkin methods
- SPH
- Homogenization
- Etc
|
|
| Course objective : | The student will be able to understand and to code a new numerical method from literature content. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Advanced knowledge in
- Solid mechanics
- Fluid mechanics
- Finite-element method
|
|
| Workshops : | Study of a new numerical method, with as a basis, papers from the literature. |
|
| Organization : | After some introductive lectures about new and old numerical methods, literature papers will be distributed to the students for them to study a new numerical method. |
|
| Written notes : | Reading material on WebCt (http://www.webct.ulg.ac.be/webct/logon/117195331001.) |
|
| Assessment : | Evaluation is based on a project, which consists in the presentation and the implementation of one of the recently developed numerical methods. Literature papers will be the basis of this project. |
