      Prerequisites

      Prerequisites for this course are basic knowledge in calculus (Analysis I-III) and Numerical Analysis (Numerik I). Some knowledge in Functional Analysis will help a lot.

      Comments

      The mathematical modeling of many processes in nature and industry leads to partial differential equations. Generally, such equations cannot be solved analytically. It is only possible to compute numerical approximations to the solution on the basis of discretized equations. This course studies discretizations of elliptic partial differential equations. Major topics are finite difference methods and finite element methods.

      Comments

      The mathematical modeling of many processes in nature and industry leads to partial differential equations. Generally, such equations cannot be solved analytically. It is only possible to compute numerical approximations to the solution on the basis of discretized equations. This course studies discretizations of elliptic partial differential equations. Major topics are finite difference methods and finite element methods.

      Comments

      Many problems in the sciences are determined by processes on several scales. Such problems are denoted as multi-scale problems. One example for a multi-scale problem is the partial differential equations (PDEs), which govern geophysical fluid flows. Averaging methods can be used for the analytical description of the slow scales. These descriptions are beneficial for numerical time-stepping schemes, as they allow for taking bigger time-steps than the unaveraged problem. The focus of this course will be on averaging methods for PDEs describing fluid flows and the design of parallelisable numerical time stepping methods, which are versions of the Parareal method and incorporate averaging techniques.

      Mathematics plays a central role in the development and analysis of models for weather prediction. Controlled physical experiments are out of question, and the only way we can study Earth’s weather and climate system is through mathematical models, computational experiments, and data analysis.

      Fluctuations in daily weather are tightly connected to turbulence, and turbulence represents a challenge for the predictability of weather. No general solution for the equations of fluid motion is known, and consequently no general solutions to problems in turbulent flows are available. Instead, scientists rely on conceptual models and statistical descriptions to understand the essence of daily weather and how that feeds back on climate behavior.

       

      This course/seminar focuses on techniques of mathematical modeling that assist scientists in exploring the listed issues systematically.

      The course will cover a selection from the following topics

      1. Conservation laws and governing equations,

      2. Numerical methods for geophysical flow simulations,

      3. Dynamical systems and bifurcation theory,

      4. Data-based characterization of atmospheric flows

       

      This course can be attended as the second part of the BMS Basic Course "Mathematical Modeling with PDEs", which stretches over two semesters at FU Berlin. The second part will be covered by the course 19235701 + 19235702 "Introduction to Mathematical Modeling with Partial Differential Equations" abgedeckt, which is offered at FU Berlin in winter terms.

      The liquid state comprises a large class of materials ranging from simple fluids (argon, methane) and molecular fluids (water) to soft matter systems such as polymer solutions (ketchup), colloidal suspensions (wall paint), and heterogeneous media (cell cytoplasm). The basic transport mode in liquids is that of diffusion due to thermal fluctuations, but already the simplest liquids exhibit a non-trivial dynamic response well beyond standard Brownian motion. From the early days of the field, computer simulations have played a central role in identifying complex dynamics and testing the approximations of their theoretical descriptions. On the other hand, theory imposes constraints on the analysis of experimental or simulation data.

      The course is at the interface of probability theory and statistical mechanics. Noting that fluids constitute high-dimensional stochastic processes, I will give an introduction to the principles of liquid state theory, and we will derive the mathematical structure of the relevant correlation functions. The second part makes contact to recent research and gives an overview on selected topics. The exercises are split into a theoretical part, discussed in biweekly lessons, and a practical part in form of a small simulation project conducted during a block session (2 days) after the lecture phase.

      Keywords:

      • Brownian motion, diffusion, and stochastic processes in fluids
      • harmonic analysis of correlation functions
      • Zwanzig-Mori projection operator formalism
      • mode-coupling approximations, long-time tails

      Many problems in the sciences are determined by processes on several scales. Such problems are denoted as multi-scale problems. One example for a multi-scale problem is the partial differential equations (PDEs), which govern geophysical fluid flows. Averaging methods can be used for the analytical description of the slow scales. These descriptions are beneficial for numerical time-stepping schemes, as they allow for taking bigger time-steps than the unaveraged problem. The focus of this course will be on averaging methods for PDEs describing fluid flows and the design of parallelisable numerical time stepping methods, which are versions of the Parareal method and incorporate averaging techniques.

      Inhalte: Diskussion der nichtgeostrophisch balancierten internen und externen Schwerewellen und ihrer Bedeutung für die Wettervorhersage und Klimadynamik. Ableitung des Spektrums der internen Schwerewellen, Einführung in die Theorie der atmosphärischen Grenzschicht und der Energetik der subsynoptischen turbulenten Prozesse. Diskussion der Mittelbildungsmethoden, der Ähnlichkeitstheorie und des Problems der Parametrisierung, Ableitung des logarithmischen Windprofils und dessen diabatischer Verallgemeinerung in der Prandtl-Schicht, Herleitung der Ekman-Spirale und der reibungsbedingten Sekundärzirkulation.
