Summer 2019

NEWS:

1st lecture takes place on April 11

On April 4th at 10am, you will be able to sign up, if you haven’t done so using KLIPS until then.

Overview:

The module consists of a lecture (2 hours / week) plus tutorials (exercise class 2 hours / week). The tutorials will include the programming of (M)HD solver(s) and therefore basic knowledge in a programming language is necessary to successfully complete the course!

Topics:

1. ★ Basic concepts in hydrodynamics
   

2. ★ Equations of ideal fluids, sound and potential waves
   

3. ★ Viscous fluids
   

4. ★ Hydrodynamical instabilities, Turbulence
   

5. ★ Basic numerical methods used in fluid dynamics at high Reynolds numbers (Finite-Volume / SPH)
   

6. ★ Development of an MHD solver
   

Who can participate?

BSc / MSc students with a basic knowledge in theoretical physics. Astrophysical knowledge is good but not necessary.

Programming skills are mandatory in order to successfully participate in the tutorials.

Aim:

Understanding the fundamental concepts of hydrodynamics and magneto-hydrodynamics. Understanding the basic computational methods to simulate fluid flows.
