Organisation and examination
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Soft Matter includes a wide variety of physical states between the solids and the liquids: colloids, polymers, granular materials... In this course, we will analyse the simulation methods related to soft matter physics.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
After this course, the student will be able:
- to use the numerical methods presented in the course: the event-driven, the molecular dynamics and the contact dynamics,
- to confront numerical and experimental results,
- to adapt a code or to use an existing library to study an original system related to Soft Matter.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The prerequisites are thorough knowledge in programming and numerical analysis.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Realization of a project.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
The student realizes a project and will present it to the other students. The professor and possibly invited experts will ask questions in relation with the course.
