I will not be teaching this course this year. It will be taught by Prof. J.D. De Laurier. This course provides an introduction to numerical methods for scientific computation which are relevant to engineering problems. Topics addressed include interpolation, integration, linear systems, least-squares fitting, nonlinear equations and optimization, initial value problems, partial differential equations, and relaxation methods. This course presents the fundamentals of numerical methods for inviscid and viscous flows.
Assignments below are up to date.
Problems 1 and 6 from Chapter 6, problems 4 and 5 from Chapter 7, problems 1 and 2 from Chapter 8. This course follows AER 1316H, which is a prerequisite. Topics to be covered include generalized curvilinear coordinates, approximate factorization, artificial dissipation, boundary conditions, and various convergence acceleration techniques, including multigrid. Finally, the course covers high-resolution upwind schemes. The complete schedule of lectures is given in the course outline.
