Objectives of the course

Knowledge:

• The candidate will learn the basics of Multiphysics simulation and acquire important knowledge about setting up one.
• The candidate will learn certain advanced concepts in relation to the mechanics of materials and fluid mechanics/heat transfer.

Skills:

• Candidates will understand the term Multiphysics and its relation to practical problems.
• Candidates will build knowledge in discretization techniques used in Multiphysics simulations such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Difference Method (FDM), Finite Volume Method (FVM), etc.
• Candidates will discretize the partial differential equations (PDE) of structures, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
• Candidates will apply the correct boundary and initial conditions in solving the Multiphysics simulation problems.
• Candidates will also learn about the use of computational resources in solving Multiphysics simulation problems.

General Competence:

• The candidate will be able to appreciate the importance of Multiphysics simulation for engineering applications.
• The candidate will also build an understanding of the margin of error between real cases to simulated ones.
