6 LPWiSe (gerade Jahre)ENwird nicht mehr angeboten
Voraussetzungen
Empfohlen, im Wortlaut
basic level knowledge in theoretical physics (bachelor)
Inhalte
1. Hydrodynamic basic equations: Euler, Navier-Stokes, continuity, energy, concentration(s) 2. Surface waves: Potential flow, deep and shallow water, solitons, Tsunamis, capillary waves 3. Instabilities: general principles, bifurcation theory, classification 4. Unstable systems: Kelvin-Helmhotz, Rayleigh-Taylor, convection, mixtures, thin films
Lernziele
Students master the foundations of hydrodynamics with regard to theoretical and phenomenological aspects. The topic of the module serves as an example for studying the realization of knowledge and the classification of knowledge within the field of physics. In addition the module supports further competences as e. g. cooperation ability, carefullness, persistance, curiosity, working on one's own initiative.
Prüfungsleistung
