Modeling and Simulation are two components which are closely related to numerical simulations. While accurate modeling is required for an appropriate representation of the reality being described, simulation utilizes the developed models to allow predictions as it is the case for weather forecasting, to give a deeper understanding of the combustion process in engines or to simulate circumstances which cannot be tested in reality, e.g. dark holes.
Following the success of the last three years, we will again reduce the individual presentations and work on a project in the seminar which consists of implementing the presented ideas.
The idea for the project of this year is the development of an interactive fluid-structure-interaction game (but there is flexibility to adapt to the background and preferences of the participants)
- The drawings of the player (probably a professor
) are analyzed online and lead to an interactive modification of a fluid simulation. - Rigid bodies are influenced by the fluid simulation and have to move to a particular goal to get more points.
- It's the players task to modify the fluid simulation in such a way (e.g. by inserting new static boundaries), that as many rigid bodies as possible are moved to the goal.
As in the last years the course language is something similar to English – so don't worry if your English is not perfect, you won't be alone!
The course is open for early Bachelor's up to advanced Master's students.
This year some course projects will be visually documented and used within an image film for the Ferienakademie. Course participants may contribute to the process (filming, acting, ...)!
