Course details
Syllabus
- How to describe the Direct FEM Simulation (DFS) methodology, including adaptive error control, slip boundary condition,and turbulent dissipation
- Methods for deriving stability estimates for the cG(1)cG(1) FEM applied to Navier-Stokes equations
- How to account for general FEM-algorithms such as assembly, adaptvity, and local mesh refinement and have a basic understanding of their implementation in FEniCS-HPC
- How to account for parallel data structures and algorithms for distributed memory architectures in a general FEM-framework and inspect their implementation in FEniCS-HPC: distributed computational mesh, ghost entities, distributed sparse linear and non-linear algebra, local mesh refinement by bisection for a distributed computational mesh, and general goal-oriented adaptive error control
- Ways to estimate the performance of different parallel algorithms
- How to use a general framework, such as FEniCS-HPC, to model and solve general PDE on a supercomputer, and specifically aerodynamics problems with DFS
Prerequisite
Basic knowledge of linear algebra and calculus is a prerequisite to understand the content and therefore strongly recommended. General knowledge of HPFEM01 is strongly recommended.

KTH in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world dedicated to advancing knowledge.
KTH is working with industry and society in the pursuit of sustainable solutions to some of humanity’s greatest challenges: climate change, future energy supply, urbanisation and quality of life for the rapidly-growing elderly population. We are addressing these with world leading, high-impact research and education in natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as in architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history and philosophy.
Platform
Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Berkeley, are just some of the schools that you have at your fingertips with EdX. Through massive open online courses (MOOCs) from the world's best universities, you can develop your knowledge in literature, math, history, food and nutrition, and more. These online classes are taught by highly-regarded experts in the field. If you take a class on computer science through Harvard, you may be taught by David J. Malan, a senior lecturer on computer science at Harvard University for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. But there's not just one professor - you have access to the entire teaching staff, allowing you to receive feedback on assignments straight from the experts. Pursue a Verified Certificate to document your achievements and use your coursework for job and school applications, promotions, and more. EdX also works with top universities to conduct research, allowing them to learn more about learning. Using their findings, edX is able to provide students with the best and most effective courses, constantly enhancing the student experience.
