PHYS-423: Plasma IFollowing an introduction of the main plasma properties, the fundamental concepts of the fluid and kinetic theory of plasmas are introduced. Applications concerning laboratory, space, and astrophysica
CIVIL-515: Flood and dam break wavesLe cours offre des méthodes de calcul hydraulique pour des problèmes d'écoulements non permanents tels que les crues, les vagues, et les ruptures de barrage. L'accent est mis sur la compréhension phys
ME-466: InstabilityThis course focuses on the physical mechanisms at the origin of the transition of a flow from laminar to turbulent using the hydrodynamic instability theory.
ME-444: HydrodynamicsNondimensionalized Navier-Stokes equations result in a great variety of models (Stokes, Lubrication, Euler, Potential) depending on the Reynolds number. The concept of boundary layer enables us then t
ME-443: Hydroacoustic for hydropower plantsIntroduction to pressure wave propagation phenomena in hydraulic circuits, water hammer calculations, transient behaviour of hydroelectric plants, 1D numerical simulation of the dynamic behaviour of F
CIVIL-225: Continuum mechanics (for GC)Ce cours fondamental couvre les notions de déformations et de contraintes, les grands principes de conservation, les équations d'équilibres, et les lois constitutives. Des applications en mécanique de
CH-110: Advanced general chemistry ILe cours comporte deux parties. Les bases de la thermodynamique des équilibres et de la cinétique des réactions sont introduites dans l'une d'elles. Les premières notions de chimie quantique sur les é
MATH-478: Dispersive PDEsThis course will give an introduction to some aspects of nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations. These are time evolution problems that arise in many contexts in physics, such as quantum
EE-548: Audio engineeringThis lecture is oriented towards the study of audio engineering, room acoustics, sound propagation, and sound radiation from sources and acoustic antennas. The learning outcomes will be the techniques
MICRO-561: Biomicroscopy IIntroduction to geometrical and wave optics for understanding the principles of optical microscopes, their advantages and limitations. Describing the basic microscopy components and the commonly used
ME-469: Nano-scale heat transferIn this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their
MICRO-422: Lasers: theory and modern applicationsThis course gives an introduction to Lasers by both considering fundamental principles and applications. Topics that are covered include the theory of lasers, laser resonators and laser dynamics.
