Comments/contents
Lecture chapters on: - introduction to the underlying equations and short recapitulation of corresponding numerical schemes - mathematization and discretization of passive geophysical tracer transport - introduction to reacting tracer transport (advection-reaction-diffusion-equation) and corresponding numerical schemes - introduction to the time-discretization of stiff systems of differential equations - practical implementation of simple 1D and 2D methods for tracer transport - issues in data acquisition, simulation management, and visualization - advanced issues: conservation properties, adaptive methods for multi-scale phenomena
Learning objectives
Participants will be able to understand the basic mathematical principles of the underlying equations, will be able to implement simple educational examples of numerically solving these equations, will be capable of enhancing existing multi-dimensional software for realistic simulations, and will understand the requirements on data, simulation environment and hypothesis formulation for producing simulation results.
