Overview
Simulationsmethoden in der Physik I (Simulation methods in Physics I)
- Type
- Lecture (2 SWS) and Tutorials (2 SWS)
- The course will take place during the first 6 weeks of the semester with 4 hours per week lectures, and 4 hours tutorial
- Lecturer
- Prof. Dr. Christian Holm (Lecture) and Joan Josep Cerdà, Fatemeh Tabatabaei, Nadezhda Gribova (Tutorials)
- Course language
- Deutsch oder Englisch, wie gewünscht- German or English, by vote
- Time and Room
- Lecture times: Mo:11:30-13:00 Thu: 9:45- 11:15
Tutorials: will be fixed during first week
The course will give an introduction to the computational tools that are used in soft matter science, like Monte-Carlo (MC) and Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (on- and off-lattice), Poisson-Boltzmann theory (and extensions).
Prerequisites
We expect the participants to have basic knowledge in classical and statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, and partial differential equations, as well as knowledge of a programming language (preferably C or C++).
Lecture and tutorials
The lecture is accompanied by hands-on-tutorials which will be held in the ICP CIP- pool. They consist of practical excercises at the computer, like small programming tasks, simulations, visualisation and data analysis.
The tutorials build on each other, therefore continous attendance is expected.
The dates of the tutorials will be scheduled in the first lecture.
