PhD Course on the Deformable Simplicial Complex Method

Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, 25-26 August 2011

Home

We would like to invite you to the PhD course on the Deformable Simplicial Complex (DSC) method and its application in physics-based simulations. The DSC is a novel method offering an interesting framework for physics-based simulations combined with deformable interface tracking. It has been developed as a part of Marek K. Misztal's PhD study at DTU Informatics under supervision of J. Andreas Bærentzen and François Anton.

The main objective of this PhD course is to provide the participants with in-depth understanding of the workings of the 3D DSC and the state-of-the-art physics-based simulation methods, focusing on the application of the 3D DSC in fluid simulation. We are hoping that the course will prepare the participants to apply the DSC method in their own research projects, as well as help us establish collaborations exploring various applications of the method.
