Course content:
Basic knowledge (theory) of various field processes
Mass transfer
Heat transfer
Fluid dynamics
Waves
Electric and magnetic fields
Electromagnetic field (optional)
Field control (optional)
Basic skills in (numerical) modelling of the mentioned field problems
COMSOL Multiphysics
Course aims:
After this course lectures the student knows the basic theory of the field problems and can recognize the most important field systems
After completing the course exercises the student may independently create versatile field models by using the Comsol Multiphysics software and interpret the model outputs
By combining the lectures and exercises the student gains skills to recognize control problems related to fields and is able to search solutions for them by using the essential literature, modelling and Comsol Multiphysics software
For aimed skills (knowledge), select and run some of the Comsol applications videos in this site:
