The course will be held as hybrid teaching in summer term 2022. This means that it is possible - within the bouindaries of the of the applicable Corona regulations - to attend the lecture live in lecture hall L1|01 K328. In addition, participation will be possible via Zoom and video recordings will be published.
On Tuesday, Apr. 12th, 2022 at 12:30 pm, there will be a pre-meeting via Zoom only. The link for this will be posted via Moodle.

The first lecture will be held on Tuesday, Apr. 19th, 2022 at 12:30 pm. More information will follow via Moodle.
The following teaching materials or services will be provided:


  • Script (English),

Official Course Description:
This course deals with the application of high accuracy discontinuous Galerkin methods (methods with high order of convergence) to computational fluid dynamics. There is a stepwise approach here: the method is first derived, or developed, in 1D and for scalar advection. This is extended over the course of the semester to the treatment of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.
