Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the students will learn to design a laboratory experiment and to analyze and simulate a biosystem in a mathematical way. Therefore, the students will use either a programming environment to understand the modeling process by means of simple examples, as well as using more specific simulation software in examples of higher complexity
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Work in an international context
  • Work in an interdisciplinary team
  • Generate new research ideas
  • Design and manage projects
  • Respect natural environment
  • Be critical and self-critical
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Experimental modeling : Laboratory experiments – dimensional analysis and similarity criteria - wind tunnel testing. Numerical modeling: Mathematical modeling process - the main elements of simulation-analysis and types of models- mathematical description of models – numerical solution of models. Experimental and computer simulation of real agricultural systems (soil-water-air-greenhouses-livestock buildings- biomass).
