151-0212-00LAdvanced CFD MethodsW4 KP2V + 1UP. Jenny, D. W. Meyer-Massetti
KurzbeschreibungFundamental and advanced numerical methods used in commercial and open-source CFD codes will be explained. The main focus is on numerical methods for conservation laws with discontinuities, which is relevant for trans- and hypersonic gas dynamics problems, but also CFD of incompressible flows, Direct Simulation Monte Carlo and the Lattice Boltzmann method are explained.
LernzielKnowing what's behind a state-of-the-art CFD code is not only important for developers, but also for users in order to choose the right methods and to achieve meaningful and accurate numerical results. Acquiring this knowledge is the main goal of this course.

Established numerical methods to solve the incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes equations are explained, whereas the focus lies on finite volume methods for compressible flow simulations. In that context, first the main theory and then numerical schemes related to hyperbolic conservation laws are explained, whereas not only examples from fluid mechanics, but also simpler, yet illustrative ones are considered (e.g. Burgers and traffic flow equations). In addition, two less commonly used yet powerful approaches, i.e., the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and Lattice Boltzmann methods, are introduced.

For most exercises a C++ code will have to be modified and applied.
Inhalt- Finite-difference vs. finite-element vs. finite-volume methods
- Basic approach to simulate incompressible flows
- Brief introduction to turbulence modeling
- Theory and numerical methods for compressible flow simulations
- Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC)
- Lattice Boltzmann method

151-0318-00LEcodesign - Umweltgerechte ProduktgestaltungW4 KP3GR. Züst
KurzbeschreibungEcodesign hat zum Ziel, die Umweltleistung von Produkten insgesamt zu verbessern. Zugleich soll die ökonomische und marktseitige Situation verbessert werden.
Die Vorlesung gliedert sich in drei Teile: Motivation und Einstieg ins Thema, methodische Grundlagen, sowie Anwendung in einem eigenen Kleinprojekt.
LernzielEs setzt sich die Erkenntnis durch, dass ein bedeutender Teil der Umweltbelastungen eines Unternehmens durch die eigenen Produkte in vor- und nachgelagerten Bereichen verursacht werden. Das Ziel von Ecodesign besteht darin, die Umweltauswirkungen eines Produktes über alle Produktlebensphasen insgesamt zu reduzieren. Die systematische Herleitung erfolgversprechender Verbesserungsmaßnahmen zu Beginn des Produktentwicklungsprozesses ist eine Schlüsselfähigkeit, die in der vorliegenden Vorlesung vermittelt werden soll.
Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer sollen die ökonomischen und ökologischen Potentiale von ECODESIGN erkennen, Fähigkeiten erlernen, zielgerichtet erfolgversprechende Verbesserungsmaßnahmen zu ermitteln und die erworbenen Fähigkeiten an konkreten Beispielen anwenden können.
InhaltDie Vorlesung ist in drei Blöcke unterteilt. Hier sollen die jeweiligen Fragen beantwortet werden:
A) Motivation und Einstieg ins Thema: Welche Material- und Energieflüsse werden durch Produkte über alle Lebensphasen, d.h. von der Rohstoffgewinnung, Herstellung, Distribution, Nutzung und Entsorgungen verursacht? Welchen Einfluss hat die Produktentwicklung auf diese Auswirkungen?
B) Grundlagen zum ECODESIGN PILOT: Wie können systematisch – über alle Produktlebensphasen hinweg betrachtet – bereits zu Beginn der Produktentwicklung bedeutende Umweltauswirkungen erkannt werden? Wie können zielgerichtet diejenigen Ecodesign-Maßnahmen ermittelt werden, die das größte ökonomische und ökologische Verbesserungspotential beinhalten?
C) Anwendung des ECODESIGN PILOT: Welche Produktlebensphasen bewirken den größten Ressourcenverbrauch? Welche Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten bewirken einen möglichst großen ökonomischen und ökologischen Nutzen?
Im Rahmen der Vorlesung werden verschiedene Praktische Beispiel bearbeitet.
SkriptFür den Einstieg ins Thema ECODESIGN wurde verschiedene Lehrunterlagen entwickelt, die im Kurs zur Verfügung stehen und teilwesie auch ein "distance learning" ermöglichen:

227-0216-00LControl Systems II Information W6 KP4GR. Smith
KurzbeschreibungIntroduction to basic and advanced concepts of modern feedback control.
LernzielIntroduction to basic and advanced concepts of modern feedback control.
InhaltThis course is designed as a direct continuation of the course "Regelsysteme" (Control Systems). The primary goal is to further familiarize students with various dynamic phenomena and their implications for the analysis and design of feedback controllers. Simplifying assumptions on the underlying plant that were made in the course "Regelsysteme" are relaxed, and advanced concepts and techniques that allow the treatment of typical industrial control problems are presented. Topics include control of systems with multiple inputs and outputs, control of uncertain systems (robustness issues), limits of achievable performance, and controller implementation issues.
