Brazilian - German Summer School 2016

Numerical Simulations with the Finite Element Method

Mathematical Analysis and Computational Practice

Institute of Mathematics and Statistics - Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul

15th - 26th February, 2016 - Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil

 

Presentation

Partial Differential Equations and their numerical simulations play a decisive role in scientific researches in a vast of academic and industrial fields. The Finite Element Method is one of the most important discretization approaches to such equations. This summer course focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects in performing numerical simulations with the Finite Element Method.

Participants have the opportunity to learn about the theoretical fundamentals in morning classes with Prof. Dr. Malte Braack (Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel) and Prof. Dr. Thomas Richter (Heidelberg University) as speakers. They are the main developers of the high performance adaptive Finite Element toolkit Gascoigne 3D. Then, in the afternoon lab classes, participants study the computational issues of Finite element schemes by implementing them using the Gascoigne toolkit. After the school, participants have the possibility to use Gascoigne 3D in their own research projects. 

 

Objectives

This summer school gives an introduction to the mathematical theory of the Finite Element method for the approximation of partial differential equations. Furthermore, an introduction to the scientific software library Gascoigne 3D will be given. Practical programming classes are offered so the participants may apply the learned theory to a number of relevant problems, including Fluid Dynamic equations.
