Summary
The course is focused on theoretical knowledge which is essential in numerical simulation environment in relation to energetics and related branches. Historical insight into the problematics, principles of simulation design, the purposes and utilization the modelling and simulation selected problems, data mining and acquisition, simulation results and their application in praxis. Factors influencing the accuracy of predicted results and its compensation.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
student will be able to:
- focus on modelling and simulation of real processes in energetics.
- use the theoretical knowledge from field of energetics and complementary branches in synergy with numerical simulations.
- apply the theoretical knowledge from technical branches in commercial software environment.
Course Contents
The course is running through the several units.
1.Unit. Introduction to numerical simulation problematics. Physical modelling, abstract modelling. Similarity and modelling of processes.
2.Unit. Historical insight into modelling and simulation. Demonstration of problems without using the computers and commercial software.
3.Unit. Analytical and numerical methods. Finite differences, finite element method, finite volume method, CFD methods – theoretical fundamentals.
4.Unit. Commercial software, CAD systems. In addition, the invited lecture of guest coming from company with practical demonstration of simulation in real condition.
5.Unit. Basic principles for commercial software utilization – definition, subject, goal of simulated problem. Advantages and disadvantages of simulation, troubles. Principles and basics setting of problem. Boundary conditions. Case studies.
6.Unit. Working with commercial software handbooks, comparison the software environment together with theoretical interdisciplinary knowledge – limits and possibilities of simulation process. The conditions of right simulated problems. Case studies.
7.Unit. Excursion.
8.Unit. Utilization the simulations in technical-commercial branches: simulated reality, virtual reality, augmented reality.
9.Unit. Presentation given by students on selected topics - discussing the topics. Critical conclusions.
