Chapter 1: Numerical Modelling Fundamentals

In this chapter, we lay the foundation of numerical modelling, covering essential concepts such as:

* Discretization techniques (finite difference, finite element, finite volume) * Governing equations (conservation of mass, momentum, and energy) * Boundary conditions and their impact on solutions

Chapter 2: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

CFD plays a crucial role in simulating fluid flow and heat transfer. We explore:

* Navier-Stokes equations and their numerical implementation * Turbulence modelling and its significance * Computational grids and mesh generation

Chapter 3: Structural Mechanics

This chapter focuses on the numerical analysis of structures, including:

* Finite element method for stress-strain analysis * Linear and non-linear material models * Buckling and dynamic response

Chapter 4: Geotechnical Engineering

Numerical modelling in geotechnical engineering enables us to understand:

* Soil mechanics and soil-structure interaction * Slope stability and foundation analysis * Groundwater flow and seepage

Chapter 5: Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI)

FSI is a critical area where fluids and structures interact. We cover:

* Coupled models for fluid-solid systems * Numerical techniques for FSI problems * Applications in biomedical engineering and ocean engineering

Chapter 6: Physical Modelling

Complementing numerical modelling, physical modelling involves experiments on scaled models. We examine:

* Similitude principles and scaling laws * Experimental design and data acquisition * Applications in civil engineering and aerospace

Chapter 7: Advanced Topics

For those seeking deeper knowledge, this chapter explores advanced topics, including:

* High-performance computing and parallel algorithms * Uncertainty quantification and probabilistic models * Multi-physics modelling and coupled simulations

Our Numerical and Physical Modelling Lecture Notes empower you with the knowledge and skills to:

* Understand the principles and applications of numerical and physical modelling * Develop, implement, and interpret computational models * Design and conduct physical experiments * Solve complex engineering and scientific problems

Whether you're an engineering student, a researcher, or a practicing professional, this comprehensive resource will guide you towards becoming a master of numerical and physical modelling. Join us on this journey of discovery and unlock the power of these methodologies to innovate and push the boundaries of science and engineering.
