Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Organisation and examination :  
Teaching in the second semester
Course contents :  
Course description:
The course consists in the realization of a project, by groups of 2 or 3 students. This project consists in creating a scientific C or C++ code with the aim of solving partial differential equations describing multiphysical phenomena.
Table of contents:
Some examples solved during the last few years: current penetration in superconductors, thermomechanical coupling in microsystems, dielectric heating of the huma skin, traffic congestion modeling, wave propagation in infinite media, tsunami modeling, ...
Learning outcomes of the course :  
By the end of the course the students will have put into practice the knowledge acquired during courses on mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, resolution of partial differential equations and high performance scientific computing, by applying them to a concrete physical problem.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Mathematical analysis course and numerical analysis course, Partial differential equations course, High-performance scientific calculation course.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Group project.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Face-to-face.
Recommended or required readings :  
Details given at the first class.
Assessment methods and criteria :  
Written report and oral presentation of the project.
