Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| This course is an introduction to linear numerical methods and to their applications in the field of civil and geological engineering. It deals with finite differences, finite elements and finite volumes. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The objective of this course is to make the students understand the basic principles of methods currently widely used in many software tools. The emphasis is put more on the theoretical fundamentals than on applications. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Mathematical analysis and numerical analysis |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The practical activities consist in the resolution of differential problems coming form fluid and solid mechanics using the methods presented in the theoretical classes (finite elements, finite differences, finite volumes) |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
