Introduction to Numerical Methods
• Numerical methods are techniques used to approximate
solutions for mathematical problems.
They are essential for solving complex differential
equations and integral equations that arise in
continuous simulation.
Common methods include Finite Difference, Finite
Element, and Monte Carlo Methods.
Key Numerical Methods
• Finite Difference Method: Approximates derivatives by
using difference equations.
Key Uses: Heat transfer, fluid dynamics.
Finite Element Method: Divides a large problem into
smaller, simpler parts called finite elements.
Key Uses: Structural analysis, electromagnetic fields.
Monte Carlo Methods: Uses random sampling to obtain
numerical results.
Key Uses: Financial modeling, risk analysis.
Applications in Various Fields
• Engineering Simulations: Structural analysis, fluid flow,
heat transfer.
Financial Modeling: Option pricing, risk assessment.
Environmental Studies: Climate modeling, pollutant
dispersion.
Challenges in Continuous Simulation
• 1. Computational Complexity: High computational power
required for large-scale simulations.
2. Accuracy vs. Performance Trade-offs: Balancing the
need for precise results with the computational
resources available.
3. Stability Issues: Ensuring numerical stability in long-
term simulations.
Case Study: Continuous
Sedimentation
• Example: Numerical methods for the simulation of
continuous sedimentation.
Techniques Used: Front tracking method, finite
difference method.
Outcome: Efficient and accurate simulation tools for
continuous sedimentation.
Case Study: Dynamical Systems
• Example: Large-scale simulation of dynamical systems
using NeurVec.
Technique: Data-driven corrector method.
Outcome: Achieved high accuracy with larger step sizes,
overcoming stability restrictions of traditional solvers.
