2WN10 - Scientific Computing

This course is taught by:

Please register for this course using Studyweb!

Lectures

In the second lecture, we study upwind schemes for a simple one-dimensional convection-diffusion problem. You can download the Matlab script used to produce the slides used during the lecture. You can also build your own linear system for two-dimensional convection-diffusion-reaction problems using the set of scripts fdm.zip.

Exercises

Exercises will be published on Studyweb, so please register for the course. Once you have registered, you will be able to download the exercises.

For your convenience we have compiled a list of useful Matlab commands.

Matlab

The assignments form an essential part of the course. Some of the exercises require writing computer programs. It is advised to do the programming in Matlab. TU/e has a nice Matlab-website. The parts you should look at are Chapter 1: Basic elements of Matlab and Chapter 6: Programming in Matlab.

Try to do the following exercises from the website:

  • Exercises 1.1-1.4, 1.6-1.16, 1.20-1.22, 1.24, 1.28, 1.30
  • Exercises 6.1, 6.6, 6.7

You can also visit the website of the creators of Matlab to find a list of tutorials. The PDF-file by the University of Dundee offers a nice compact reference guide.

Finally, there is also the excellent booklet MATLAB Primer by Kermit Sigmon and Timothy A. Davis, Chapman & Hall/CRC, London, 2002.

Course materials

The course is based on the book Iterative methods for Sparse Linear Systems by Yousef Saad. Since the first edition is out of print, it is available from the author's website. On this page is a post-processed PDF version. The original files are available from Yousef Saad's site.
