Information about the course

This course consists of four projects that must be completed before you may attend the exam. The projects have several aims:

  • To provide experience with developing various codes relevant for problems in Statistical Physics
  • To use the codes to develop intuition for some of the main concepts in Statistical Physics
  • To learn how to measure statistical properties in simulations with many particles
  • To provide a deeper insight into the role of fluctuations, finite size effects, and scaling concepts used in modern statistical physics.

The lectures will support the various projects, and will therefore vary from more theoretical when addressing percolation, to more practical when addressing atomic modeling.

Project 1: Atomic Modeling of Liquids (Part1, Part2, Part3)

Project 2: Atomic modeling of nanoporous media

  • For an introduction to flow in porous media see chapter 4, 6 and 7 in Flow in porous media textbook

Project 3: Percolation

Project 4: Final Project
