One way of avoiding such limitations is to use computer simulation to model the performance of the system. Computer simulations allow engineers to interact directly with the model and provide greater flexibility than would otherwise be available. This course examines the different techniques used by engineers to build such computer simulations, and looks at their implementations on High Performance Computers. Modelling the suface temperature of a plane. Computational fluid dynamics Who should attend These courses are aimed at users who are competent programmers in either C or Fortran, and who have a problem which may benefit from the application of high performance computing.

Back to top Modelling in the Geographical Sciences Computers are becoming an increasingly important tool in understanding the world in which we live. Their use in the geographical sciences is becoming increasingly wide spread with subjects as diverse as modelling the effect of a new housing estate on traffic flow through a town to assessing the environmental impact of deforestation. This course concentrates on the techniques used to produce such models, illustrating their practical use with case studies.
