This course provides a general overview on the theories of contact mechanics, relevant for a wide range of disciplines ranging from materials science to engineering and geophysics. Introducing their theoretical foundations, the physical aspects of the resulting nonlinearities induced by such phenomena are emphasized. -
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool in the analysis and design of thermal and fluid flow systems in wide range of industries. Few prominent areas of applications of CFD include meteorology, transport systems (aerospace, automobile, highspeed trains), energy systems, environment, electronics, bio-medical (design of life support and drug delivery systems), etc.
