Course content

The course gives an introduction to methods for modeling and simulation of physical processes, for use in control applications. 1. Models, model properties and modeling tools: The student will know the most common model classes, and have knowledge of some central model properties that are useful for control systems. 2. Numerical simulation: The student should be able to simulate a state-space model in a computer. This entails implementation of explicit and implicit ODE/DAE methods, and to know principles of state-of-the-art ODE solvers (e.g. as implemented in Matlab). The students will be exposed to the challenges and pitfalls that can be encountered in numerical simulations. 3. Rigid body dynamics: The student should be able to write down equations of motion for simple systems of rigid bodies, which gives a basis for modeling of mechanical systems such as robots, marine vessels, cars, and airplanes. The students will know the Lagrange method, which allows to model complex multi-body systems easily. 4. Balance laws/fluid systems: The student should learn the basic principles of balance laws, and use some of them to formulate simple models of process systems.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: At the end of the course, the student should know: 1 Models, model properties and some modeling tools: - Know the most important model classes. - Understand how to manipulate models / model approximations to change their class. 2 Numerical simulation: - Derive and be able to use explicit and implicit methods (Runge-Kutta). - Analyze the stability of one-step methods, and know the difference between different classes, and the consequences this has for choice of method. - Understand the basics of the Newton method for implicit methods. 3 Rigid body dynamics: - Know coordinate-based and coordinate free (dyadics) descriptions of rigid body kinematics. - Know the most important parameterizations of rotations. - Be able to differentiate vectors, and understand the concept of angular velocity. - Know the principles for use of Lagrange equations of motion. - Use constrained Lagrange for multi-body dynamics. 4 Balance laws/fluid systems: - Know and be able to formulate the basic balance laws. Skills: At the end of the course, the student should be able to: 1 Recognize models of different forms and their properties 2 Implement explicit and implicit Runge-Kutta methods. 3 Write down equations of motion for simple and multi-body systems of rigid bodies. 4 Understand basic balance laws. General competence: The student should be able to communicate technological issues to both experts and others.
