Details
Department: Marine Science and Limnology (MSL)
Course Number: MSL F629
Credits: 4.0
Grading Type: Letter
Prerequisites: MATH 310, 421, 422 or equivalent; baccalaureate
degree in physics, engineering, mathematics or
equivalent; experience with FORTRAN.
Description
Fundamentals of computer simulation, including time and spatial differencing and stability theory applied to partial differential equations describing dynamical processes in the ocean and atmosphere. Numerical approximation schemes for the geophysical fluid dynamics will be analyzed through equations of motion, continuity and transport. Special consideration given to the description of the frictional processes in the turbulent flow and transport/diffusion phenomena. Includes laboratory practice.
