- Deadline of homework 5 extended :-)The new deadline for homework is Friday May 10th.
Feel free to contact Nathan Coppin if you need an additional help to get the results.
The intermediate grades of the homeworks are only a way to estimate the efficiency and the accuracy of the code. The final grade of the lecture will be based on your participation, your efforts to complete the homeworks and to improve your skills : we are really sure that all students can convince us that they deserve to validate the credits of this lecture.

- Advanced Numerical Methods in 2023-2024This year, the course will focus on numerical methods for granular materials.
Granular materials are widespread in various fields and at various scales: they are implied in the mining, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, as well in geophyiscal flows such as avalanches or volcanic eruptions, and even in astronomy with asteroid belts and the rings of Saturn.
However, their divided nature makes them difficult to describe with classical continuum mechanics laws.
Numerical methods thus appear as a key tool in the study of the behaviour of granular materials.
Together, we will explore the different approaches used in the Discrete Elements Method, which is widely used in the simulation on such materials.
This course will also give insights on state-of-the art research in the field, by presenting research results obtained with MigFlow, an open-source software developed at UCLouvain and dedicated to the study of immersed granular flows.
Information about this course can also be found on ZouLab.
