Description
Multiphysics models deal with multiple simultaneous physical phenomena, which include, but are not limited to, coupling between solid and fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer. Knowledge obtained through these models can be applied in many industrial fields and help us in the decision making process.
Course objectives:
This course will focus on the statement and analysis of the main multiphysical models, such as thermo/hygro/poro -elasticity, transport by diffusion and convection through porous media, transfer with phase change (sublimation condensation, solidification…).
Course program:
I: Examples
II: Single physics problems (reminder) : basics in solid, fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer
III: Multi-physics problems
• Diffusion / conduction (Soret, Dufour, Seebeck, osmotic…. effects)
• Diffusion / convection / dispersion in porous media
• Thermo / hygro /poro elasticity — Analogy and differences
Recommended prerequisite
Basics in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer
