Course detail
Computer-Aided Design and Simulations
FSI-9SVC Acad. year: 2023/2024 Both semester
The postgraduate students will get acquainted with process simulations and computer-aided design of processes and equipment. The course includes classification of mathematical modelling approaches for systems with mass and heat transfer, fluid flow, and chemical reactions. The students will enhance their knowledge of balancing and simulations of complex systems including multiphase, reactive, or transient processes. Furthermore, attention will be paid to numerical methods for the solution of systems of equations. Optimisation techniques for process systems will also be discussed together with error propagation and regression analysis.
Supervisor
Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will understand the principles of mathematical modelling and simulations of complex systems. They will have general knowledge regarding computer-aided design, analysis, and optimisation.
Prerequisites
Graduate-level knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures focused on the topics required to finish the chosen doctoral projects. These include using appropriate software tools.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Each student will develop a model of a process or a simulation model related to their doctoral thesis.
Language of instruction
Czech
Aims
The main aim of the course is for students to be able to develop, implement, and apply models suitable for solving problems related to their doctoral theses.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at lectures is recommended. Absences are compensated by self-study of the literature specified by the lecturer or, if needed, by pre-arranged consultations at which the models developed by the students are discussed.
