Computational Mechanics Specialisation

Computational mechanics is a subdiscipline of mechanics focused on developing and solving complex mathematical models that represent physical phenomena through the use of modern computing methods, such as intensive computer simulations. These complex mathematical models arise in applications such as renewable energy, biomechanics, sports engineering, defence, manufacturing and aerospace. This extension specialisation will focus on problems arising in the areas of: fluids, thermodynamics and heat transfer.
