Ein Jahr an der University of Hertfordshire


Für Studenten, die das 6. Semester erfolgreich beendet haben, besteht die Möglichkeit, zwei Semester an der
University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield (ca. 1/2 Std. Bahnfahrt nördlich von London) zu studieren und dort die Diplomarbeit anzufertigen.
Nach der Rückkehr an die TFH kann dann die Diplomprüfung abgelegt werden, da die dort erbrachten Studienleistungen hier anerkannt werden.

Partial Differential Equation Models

- Course aims and objectives

At the end of the course the student will:

(i)    recognise the partial diffrential equations associated with diffusion and wave motion
(ii)   be able to classify partial differential equations in 2, 3 and 4 independent variables
(iii)  recognise properly-posed problems for boundary and initial value problems
(iv)  be able to use the method of characteristics for the solution of hyberpolic equations
(v)   be able to use finite difference and finite element methods for the numerical solution of
        initial and boundary value problems of parabolic and elliptic types

- Course content
Modelling

Development of PDE models, with particular reference to diffusion and wave motion, in physics, engineering
and biology
e.g.  First order hyperbolic systems - traffic flow, conservation laws.
       Second order parabolic systems - mass diffusion, heat flow, random walks, lumped-parameter models
       Second order hyperbolic systems - transverse waves (strings and membranes), longitudinal waves
       (elastic rods and sound waves).
       Elliptic systems - degenerate parabolic and potential problems.

Theoretical Background

Classification of quasi-linear second order PDE's in 2, 3 and 4 independent variables and systems of first order equations.
Characteristics and canonical forms. Boundary and initial-value problems. Properly-posed problems. Adjoint operators.
Existence theorems (without proofs).
Associated eigenvalue problems.
Analytic solutions will be developed only to the extent that this aids insight into the underlying physical processes.

Computation

Finite difference methods for elliptic and parabolic equations.Stability, convergence and consistency.
The method of characteristics for hyperbolic equations.

The finite element method and the boundary element method developed as members of the class of weighted residual methods
for the approximate solution of linear and non-linear boundary and initial value problems.

At the end of the course the student will:

- be able to perform initial data analysis in a variety of situations,
- understand the basic principles of statistical inference together with some basic methods
