Dynamics of Discrete Media

The course will describe the processes in materials for which the discreteness of their internal structure is important. The examples include behavior of nano-sized objects, chemical reactions, fracture, phase transitions, dynamics of granular materials, crowd dynamics, evolution of astrophysical systems, etc. The course includes theoretical and practical parts. Students will study the fundamental aspects of mechanics of discrete media. At practice students will learn to solve the applied problems using modern simulation techniques, such as molecular dynamics, particle dynamics, discrete element method, smoothed particles hydrodynamics, etc.
