Overview
- Type
- Lecture (2 SWS) and Tutorials "Simulationsmethoden in der Praxis" (2 SWS)
- Lecturer
- JP. Dr. Maria Fyta, (Lecture), Prof. Dr. [[Christian Holm]; Dr. Jens Smiatek; Mr. Bibek Adhikari; Mr. Narayanan Krishnamoorthy Anand (Tutorials)
- Course language
- English
- Lectures
- Time: Thursdays, 11:30 - 13:00, ICP, Allmandring 3, Seminarroom 1
Exception: the lecture on 17.04 will be moved to another day (more information soon). There will be two lectures in the week 21-25.04 and NO lecture on the 05.06. - Tutorials
- Time: TBA, ICP, Allmandring 3, CIP-Pool
The tutorials have their own title "Simulationsmethoden in der Praxis", as they can be attended independently of the lecture and are in fact part part of the Physics MSc module "Fortgeschrittene Simulationsmethoden" and not of the module that contains the lecture "Simulation Methods in Physics II".
The lecture is accompanied by hands-on-tutorials which will take place in the CIP-Pool of the ICP, Allmandring 3. They consist of practical exercises at the computer, like small programming tasks, simulations, visualization and data analysis. The tutorials build on each other, therefore continuous attendance is expected.
Scope
The course intends to give an overview about modern simulation methods used in physics today. The stress of the lecture will be to introduce different approaches to simulate a problem, hence we will not go too to deep into specific details but rather try to cover a broad range of methods. For an idea about the content look at the lecture schedule.
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. The knowledge of the previous course Simulation Methods I is expected.
Certificate Requirements
- 1. Attendance of the exercise classes
- 2. Obtaining 50% of the possible marks in each worksheet
The final grade will be determined from the final oral examination.

Examination
There is an oral examination at the end of the semester. All students having obtained 50% of the points from each tutorial are eligible to take the exam. The duration of the exam depends on the module this lecture is part of. Briefly,
- BSc/MSc Physik, Modul "Simulationsmethoden in der Physik"
- 60 min exam (contents from both parts SMI + SMII will be examined)
- International MSc Physics, Elective Module "Simulation Techniques in Physics II" (240918-005)
- 30 min exam (content only from SMII will be examined).
- BSc/MSc SimTech, Modul "Simulationsmethoden in der Physik für SimTech II"
- 40 min (content from SMII will be examined).
