The activities of the course are divided into two parts. The first part consists of a number of seminars that emphasise a number of subfields in the field and a number of laboratory sessions that focus on different computational techniques and software tools. The other part of the course is focused on a project defined by the student where the technologies and the tools from the first part of the course are applied on a problem in fluid dynamics.

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should (i) have an understanding of theory behind efficient calculation methods for computer simulation in fluid mechanics with a focus on adaptive finite element methods (FEM) for incompressible flow as well as (ii) an ability to use these calculation methods to solve problems in fluid mechanics. Research challenges in the field are emphasised, e g with regard to turbulent flow.

Examination and completion
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 7.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Written examination, laboratory reports as well as project report.
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
