Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Numerical simulations of astrophysical systems are a key tool of modern astrophysical research from planets over galaxies to cosmology. In this lab course, we will study selected key equations and learn the techniques to compute numerical solutions. The covered topics include ODEs, the DFT, the diffusion and Poisson equations, dynamics of 2,3 and N-body systems, and computational hydrodynamics. We also deal with Python for numerical calculations, as well as parallelization. The format of the lab is introductory lectures followed by a practical part.

Assessment and permitted materials

Attendance, writing of a functional program, elaboration of the results in a report as a homework assignment.
