Topics:
The objective of the class is to give an introduction in numerical approximation methods for the basic equations in solid mechanics and fluid dynamics.
The course contains aspects of mathematical modelling, existence and uniqueness results, numerical approximations methods and their convergence properties.
The main part is devoted to the approximation methods in space and time, where modern discretization methods as finite element schemes with implicit time discretization methods and solvers for systems of linear and nonlinear equations are combined.
The main difficulties for the discretizations of all parts of the underlying initial-boundary value problems are motivated by considering simpler examples.
