Methods of computational science are essential for modern research and development in science, technology and economy. This seminar covers the topics
• mathematical modeling,
• efficient algorithms and
• simulation on high-performance computers
in projects from the fields of Scientific Computing and Process Engineering.
First, various project topics are presented and the respective problems are motivated. The proposed topics are worked on individually or in pairs and with the support of the seminar team. The students are introduced to using HPC systems at the Scientific Computing Center (SCC, KIT) with scalable parallel software such as OpenLB.
Seminar Schedule:
The seminar takes place every semester and is always held as a block course toward the end of the lecture period. During the (mandatory) preliminary seminar meeting, doctoral students in the group present their proposed topics. In the months that follow, you must prepare a presentation of approximately 20 minutes as well as a short paper (10–15 pages, usually in English). While working on your topic, you will be supervised by a doctoral student or one of the two faculty members in the research group and will be provided with relevant sources. The final version of the paper must be submitted to your supervisor two weeks after the presentation.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of a programming language. Basic knowledge of numerical methods for differential equations. Previous participation in the Computational Fluid Dynamics and Simulation Lab is an advantage but not required.
Additional Information:
We also welcome your own topic proposals, which you can discuss with us during the preliminary meeting. The seminar is particularly well-suited as preparation for a bachelor’s or master’s thesis.
You can find the latest information on the Mathematics Institute’s website and on Ilias.
