GRK 853:  Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation of Engineering Applications

Subject Area Production Technology
Construction Engineering and Architecture
Term from 2003 to 2005
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 273579
 

Project Description

The use of numerical simulation techniques for more and more engineering areas becomes a cost-effective alternative to expensive, time and personnel consuming experimental investigations. In many industrial branches numerical simulation has already developed to a key technology. In spite of the progresses that have been achieved in recent years for many practical applications, which, moreover, permanently increase in complexity, a reliable simulation is still not possible. This can be caused either by the lack of theoretical foundations in modelling or by extremely high requirements concerning the computer capacities.
