Content

This course will introduce the basic aspects of partial different equations as well as their numerical treatment. Thereby, we will focus on hyperbolic systems of equations which are fundamental with respect to practical applications in fluid mechanics.

Required previous knowledge

In order to follow the content of the course it is necessary to have foundamental knowledge of the following preceding courses: Numerical Methods I and II as well as Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations.
