Introduction to wavephysics and fluidmechanics

Wavephysics: Description of wave motion, harmonic waves, the wave equation, elastic waves, wave packets, wave phenomena, dispersion.

Continuummechanics/fluidmechanics: The continuum hypothesis, conservation laws, pressure, the control volume method, differential methods in flow systems, Navier-Stokes' equation. Various flow system.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

The candidate shall:
-achieve a basic understanding of wavephysics and fluidmechanics,

Skills
The candidate shall:
-learn to analyze various problems in wavephysics and fluidmechanics with methods that involve differential and integral calculus
be trained in analyzing problems in wavephysics and fluidmechanics using ICT-based methods
-develop experimental skills.

Generall competencies
-The candidate shall develop collaborative skills.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, excercises, numerical and experimental projects.

Compulsory assignments

  • Excercises

Further on evaluation

The final grade is based on portfolio assessment. The portfolio includes written exam and projects. The evaluation of the different parts is given in %-points, while the entire portfolio is given a letter grade. For a re-take of an examination, all assessments in the portfolio must be re-taken. The re-sit examination (in August) may be changed from written to oral.
