Post-processing is usually the last (but definitely not least) step of a scientific computing project. In this series, you will see some examples of employing ParaView for analyzing and post-processing the results of various types of computational simulations. See more…
Environment setup is one of the most fundamental topics we want to talk about. In this series, we will setup a Linux environment for scientific computing from scratch and discuss its various aspects. Beside the techniques you will see for installing, compiling, and building a wide range of programs we need later, it may provide an opportunity to know those programs if you don’t. See more…
Numerical computing is the foundation of all the things we are going to discuss. Solving complex mathematical equations (more specifically, differential equations, describing a wide range of phenomena in science and engineering) requires special techniques called numerical methods. It’s called like this to show that the equations cannot be solved directly (or let’s say analytically). This is the foundation of most of computer modeling and simulation works, so we need to get familiar with the concepts of numerical methods (numerical computing). See more…
This video series aims to cover interesting topics that cannot be put it in the syllabus of the scheduled series. We try to collect interesting questions/comments/challenges and make elaborated videos on them. To enrich this, don’t hesitate to reach out for asking your questions or telling us your suggestions. Watch the first video to find out more details. See more…
The idea behind this series is to simulate a single problem in different finite element programs and see the principles they all have in common. The problem to solve is selected to be a little bit more complex than the typical problems you see in tutorials: a transient heat transfer in a helical heat exchanger. We are going to build a 3D geometry in a CAD program, generate a mesh out of it, import the mesh into multiple finite element solvers, and solve a transient heat diffusion equation on it. This demonstrates a typical workflow of any finite element modeling project when a not-so-simple geometry is required. See more…
Most of the videos in TuxRiders are dealing with partial differential equations and numerical solutions of them. In this series, the essential concepts of engineering mathematics and simulation are demonstrated in animated illustrations, making it easier to follow the technical videos of TuxRiders. See more…
FreeFEM is one of the tools we use a lot in TuxRiders, a powerful open-source PDE solver which is actually a domain-specific language (DSL) for finite element computation. It also includes nice interfaces to a wide variety of scientific computing libraries and tools. In this series, we cover the FreeFEM basic concepts. See more…
After covering the basic concepts, terminologies, and techniques of the FreeFEM language and the finite element method, it’s time to showcase some models as mini-projects in FreeFEM, helping you to see the things you learned in action. See more…
