HWRS404 - Numerical Methods for Environmental Transport Problems
Course ID
040673
Course Description
This course is for senior undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of this course is to introduce commonly used numerical methods for ordinary and partial differential equations encountered in transport problems in environmental systems. The course covers finite difference and finite element methods with emphasis on basic discretization schemes and how to select the appropriate numerical schemes for a given differential equation. We will also discuss accuracy, stability, and convergence properties of the introduced numerical methods. Students will use MATLAB or other programming languages to implement numerical schemes to solve example problems. Experience with MATLAB is not required.
