Handout

Methods

  • Analytical modeling
  • Computer simulations

Our work includes the derivation of models and physical laws, generalization of theories, development of new methods, and analysis of the fundamental equations of new models and theories. We also utilize computer simulations. In this way, many analytical and numerical methods are employed in our work. To complement these theoretical methods, we collaborate with experimentalists.

Software

To aid our numerical simulations we created a number of software frameworks which we actively maintain and improve.

  • AcoDyn: A framework for simulations of acoustofluidic microsystems
  • FIPS: A JIT-compiler for highly flexible many-particle simulations
