Kurzbeschreibung | Fundamental and advanced numerical methods used in commercial and open-source CFD codes will be explained. The main focus is on numerical methods for conservation laws with discontinuities, which is relevant for trans- and hypersonic gas dynamics problems, but also CFD of incompressible flows, Direct Simulation Monte Carlo and the Lattice Boltzmann method are explained. | |||||
Lernziel | Knowing what's behind a state-of-the-art CFD code is not only important for developers, but also for users in order to choose the right methods and to achieve meaningful and accurate numerical results. Acquiring this knowledge is the main goal of this course. Established numerical methods to solve the incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes equations are explained, whereas the focus lies on finite volume methods for compressible flow simulations. In that context, first the main theory and then numerical schemes related to hyperbolic conservation laws are explained, whereas not only examples from fluid mechanics, but also simpler, yet illustrative ones are considered (e.g. Burgers and traffic flow equations). In addition, two less commonly used yet powerful approaches, i.e., the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and Lattice Boltzmann methods, are introduced. For most exercises a C++ code will have to be modified and applied. | |||||

Lernziel | Illustration der Physik der kompressiblen Strömungen und Üben der mathematischen Methoden anhand einfacher Beispiele. | |||||
Inhalt | Die Kompressibilität im Zusammenspiel mit der Trägheit führen zu Wellen in einem Fluid. So spielt die Kompressibilität bei instationären Vorgängen (Schwingungen in Gasleitungen, Auspuffrohren usw.) eine wichtige Rolle. Auch bei stationären Unterschallströmungen mit hoher Machzahl oder bei Überschallströmungen muss die Kompressibilität berücksichtigt werden (Flugtechnik, Turbomaschinen usw.). In dem ersten Teil der Vorlesung wird die Wellenausbreitung bei eindimensionalen Unterschall- und Überschallströmungen behandelt. Es werden sowohl Wellen kleiner Amplitude in akustischer Näherung, als auch Wellen grosser Amplitude mit Stossbildung behandelt. Der zweite Teil befasst sich mit ebenen stationären Überschallströmungen. Schlanke Körper in einer Parallelströmung werden als schwache Störungen der Strömung angesehen und können mit den Methoden der Akustik behandelt werden. Zu der Beschreibung der zweidimensionalen Überschallumströmung beliebiger Körper gehören schräge Verdichtungsstösse, Prandtl -Meyer Expansionen usw.. Unterschiedliche Randbedingungen (Wände usw.) und Wechselwirkungen, Reflexionen werden berücksichtigt. | |||||

Lernziel | On completion of the course, students understand the difference between linear and nonlinear systems, know the mathematical techniques for analysing these systems, and have learnt various methods for designing controllers accounting for their characteristics. Course puts the student in the position to deploy nonlinear control techniques in real applications. Theory and exercises are combined for better understanding of the virtues and drawbacks present in the different methods. | |||||
Inhalt | Virtually all practical control problems are of nonlinear nature. In some cases application of linear control methods leads to satisfactory controller performance. In many other cases however, only application of nonlinear analysis and control synthesis methods will guarantee achievement of the desired objectives. During the past decades mature nonlinear controller design methods have been developed and have proven themselves in applications. After an introduction of the basic methods for analysing nonlinear systems, these methods will be introduced together with a critical discussion of their pros and cons. Along the course the students will be familiarized with the basic concepts of nonlinear control theory. This course is designed as an introduction to the nonlinear control field and thus no prior knowledge of this area is required. The course builds, however, on a good knowledge of the basic concepts of linear control and mathematical analysis. | |||||
