3MT100 - Chaos

Chaos is the erratic behavior of simple nonlinear dynamical systems. This course covers the basic fundamentals of chaos theory, including the concept of scaling and universal route to chaos, and its connection to these non-linear, deterministic but unpredictable dynamical systems. From simple chaotic maps, to the physics of fractals and multi-fractals via the concept of […]

3MT120 - Advanced Computational Fluid and Plasma Dynamics

The course guides students to the hand-on discovery of several classical numerical methods commonly used to study the dynamics of fluids and plasmas: from continuum computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches (Spectral and finite volume), to the Lattice Boltzmann (LBM), particles based methods (Molecular Dynamics, Brownian and Stokesian dynamics) and Particle-in-cell Monte Carlo (PIC-MC).

Nowadays, electrochemical energy storage systems for renewable sources are gaining much attention throughout the world. Fuel Cells are one of the most popular renewable energy converters. Water management is crucial inside Fuel Cells because water condensates and eventually clogs the diffusion layers, leading to high mass transport losses and limiting their performances, especially at high […]
