The sensor is Norwegian, so the language of the exam may be Norwegian if you prefer this.

The schedule for the oral exam has been decided by Numpy.random.shuffle. The list is as follows

  • 09.15 Marte
  • 09.50 Lars
  • 10.25 Florian
  • 11.00 Anna
  • 11.35 Kadek
  • 12.30 Kei
  • 13.05 Fabian
  • 13.40 Yngve
  • 14.15 Sverre

We schedule 35 minutes per candidate, but we will try to make it 30 minutes for each. You will start by making a draw from the 5 different topics, and you will then get 5 minutes to collect your thoughts before starting.

The exam will take place on Wednesday 16/12, and we start at 09.00. If this date is not possible for you, then an alternative is still 15/12. Please let me know if you cannot come on the 16/12.

I will get back to you soon with tentative times for each and everyone.

I will be available for questions about the coming exam and anything else relevant on Tuesday 14.15 in our regular classroom.

The oral exam will last for approximately 30 minutes. The first 15 minutes you will be expected to present one out of 5 different themes from the syllabus. You will make the draw, and then we will give you approximately 5 minutes to collect your thoughts before starting the exam. The 5 main topics are

  1. Parallel shear flows
  2. Similarity solutions
  3. Stokes flow
  4. Laminar boundary layers
  5. Turbulence and turbulence modelling 

For the presentation you will only have the blackboard. You are expected to present a brief summary of what we have learned throughout this course, but it is up to you to decide what is most important to include in the presentation. You can present examples of a specific flow in the theme, and then outline how to solve the equations. You may also choose to derive relevant equations. We assume that the Navier-Stokes are known, and as such the starting point for most such d...

Sorry about the late message, but those of you that were in class last week knew already. 

I will get back with more information about the oral exam by the end of this week. Meanwhile, you can prepare by studying exams from previous years. Years 2013, 2014 and 2015 are recommended as I made the exams those years:-)

I have to cancel the group session today since I'm having problems with my back. Please send me emails if you have any questions.

Could you please fill in this doodle today?

I will try to find a date that fits for everybody, but if that's impossible we'll just have to schedule more than one day.

Compute the lid driven cavity for steady Navier-Stokes equations. That is, add convection to the Stokes solver from the mandatory assignment and solve the nonlinear equations using either Picard or Newton iterations (or both).

I have now published the first mandatory assignments in the lecture notes. For now we have only covered the syllabus of the first assignment (1), whereas the next (2) will be covered in the lecture next week.

I have suggested quite a few problems and computer exercises in the schedule for week 36. Please note that this is too much work for one week, so we'll carry these assignments into week 37 as well.

Lecture notes that cover part of the syllabus, and that will be used throughout the autumn, can be found at https://mikaem.github.io/MEK4300

Please note that the lecture notes are likely to change. Also, since these notes contain live code examples, they are best read online in a browser. Please let me know if some code or browser do not work. 

For week 35 the relevant notes are for chapter 3, steady Couette and Poiseuille flows.

  1. Get the White book
  2. Install FEniCS and run a few of the examples in the tutorial 

We will use FEniCS extensively in future assignments, but for now just make sure it works. Next week we start with the syllabus.
