- 9305 For course with application deadline August 1 or February 1.

Last dates for course registration and registration for examination are September 1 for the fall semester, and February 1 for the spring semester.

PhD students or holders of a Norwegian master´s degree of five years or 3+ 2 years (or equivalent) may be admitted (categories 3 and 4 above). PhD students must upload a document from their university stating that they are registered PhD students. This group of applicants does not have to prove English proficiency and are exempt from semester fee.

Holders of a Master´s degree must upload a Master´s Diploma with Diploma Supplement / English translation of the diploma. Applicants from listed countries must document proficiency in English. To find out if this applies to you see the following list:

Proficiency in English must be documented - list of countries.

For more information on accepted English proficiency tests and scores, as well as exemptions from the English proficiency tests, please see the following document: Proficiency in English - PhD level studies.

The course will be cancelled if less than five participants.


Admission requirements

General admission requirements for PhD.-program at UiT.

Offered irregularly. The course will be cancelled if less than five participants.

Recommended knowledge: Knowledge in the subjects of applied mathematics, numerical methods, partial differential equations.


Course content

The course covers multiphysics modelling techniques for structural mechanics and fluid mechanics/heat transfer. Students will learn about structures problem and simulation techniques with the use of Finite Element Methods (FEM). Similarly, students will learn about fluid mechanics/heat transfer problems with the use of Finite Volume Methods and Finite Difference Methods (FVM / FDM). In both, students will learn about governing equations, discretization techniques, initial & boundary conditions, and solving techniques. They will also learn ANSYS® Multiphysics and MATLAB® software.

Objectives of the course

Knowledge:

  • The candidate will learn the basics of Multiphysics simulation and acquire important knowledge about setting up one.
  • The candidate will learn certain advanced concepts in relation to the mechanics of materials and fluid mechanics/heat transfer.

Skills:

  • Candidates will understand the term Multiphysics and its relation to practical problems.
  • Candidates will build knowledge in discretization techniques used in Multiphysics simulations such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Difference Method (FDM), Finite Volume Method (FVM), etc.
  • Candidates will discretize the partial differential equations (PDE) of structures, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
  • Candidates will apply the correct boundary and initial conditions in solving the Multiphysics simulation problems.
  • Candidates will also learn about the use of computational resources in solving Multiphysics simulation problems.

General Competence:

  • The candidate will be able to appreciate the importance of Multiphysics simulation for engineering applications.
  • The candidate will also build an understanding of the margin of error between real cases to simulated ones.
