Programme code: W4-S2FZA22.2022
Semester:
  • winter semester 2025/2026
  • winter semester 2024/2025
  • winter semester 2023/2024
Language of instruction: English
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 3
Description:
The e-learning course introduces methods of computer simulations and their applications in solving physical problems. The specific methodology of simulations will match the interest of students and their master physics topics, for example: • Dynamics of molecular systems simulated with the implementation of interactions between molecules; • Nuclear or particle physics simulations based on particle interaction models and tools for building virtual detection systems; • Simulations of the fluid dynamics, low and high energy processes, and other problems related to theoretical physics.
