Course detail

Computer-Aided Design and Simulations

FSI-9SVC Acad. year: 2025/2026 Both semester

The postgraduate students will get acquainted with process simulations and computer-aided design of processes and equipment. The course includes classification of mathematical modelling approaches for systems with mass and heat transfer, fluid flow, and chemical reactions. The students will enhance their knowledge of balancing and simulations of complex systems including multiphase, reactive, or transient processes. Furthermore, attention will be paid to numerical methods for the solution of systems of equations. Optimisation techniques for process systems will also be discussed together with error propagation and regression analysis.

Language of instruction

Czech

Entry knowledge

Graduate-level knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Each student will develop a model of a process or a simulation model related to their doctoral thesis.

Attendance at lectures is recommended. Absences are compensated by self-study of the literature specified by the lecturer or, if needed, by pre-arranged consultations at which the model developed by the student is discussed.

Aims

The main aim of the course is for students to be able to develop, implement, and apply models suitable for solving problems related to their doctoral theses.
