From Nano to Macro: Introduction to Atomistic Modeling Techniques, January (IAP) 2007
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

The objective of this course is to introduce large-scale atomistic modeling techniques and highlight its importance for solving problems in modern engineering sciences. We demonstrate how atomistic modeling can be used to understand how materials fail under extreme loading, involving unfolding of proteins and propagation of cracks.

International Politics in the New Century - via Simulation, Interactive Gaming, and 'Edutainment', January (IAP) 2005
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This workshop is designed to introduce students to different perspectives on politics and the state of the world through new visualization techniques and approaches to interactive political gaming (and selective 'edutainment.') Specifically, we shall explore applications of interactive tools (such as video and web-based games, blogs or simulations) to examine critical challenges in international politics of the 21C century focusing specifically on general insights and specific understandings generated by operational uses of core concepts in political science.

Microscopic Theory of Transport, Fall 2003
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Discusses basic physical mechanisms of particle and radiation transport due to microscopic collisions. Simple explanation of transport coefficients (e.g., diffusivity, viscosity, heat conductivity, electrical conductivity) and various nuclear cross sections. Derivation of the microscopic kinetic equation describing transport; the Boltzmann equation. Derivation of practical engineering fluid models (e.g., classical thermodynamics, the Navier Stokes equations, the neutron transport equations) from the kinetic model. Subject material elucidates the common roots of these widely different models. Transport is among the most fundamental and widely studied phenomena in science and engineering. This subject will lay out the essential concepts and current understanding, with emphasis on the molecular view, that cut across all disciplinary boundaries. (Suitable for all students in research.) Broad perspectives of transport phenomena; From theory and models to computations and simulations; Micro/macro coupling; Current research insights
