I) Radiation and radiative processes (taught by N. Pawellek): Elektromagnetic waves, optics, Blackbody radiation, radiation transport and radiation mechanisms
II) Hydrodynamics (taught by G. Houdek): Continuity and momentum equation
III) Thermodynamics (taught by B. Ziegler)We suggest that students repeat the following topics before the lectures start so that they can understand the processes discussed:
- Trigonometric functions
- Calculus (total and partial derivations, integrals)
- Vektor calculus (gradient, divergence, curl/rotation)
- Complex numbers incl. their notationFurthermore, we assume that students have basic knowledge in Experimental Physics I and II: Mechanics and Electrodynamics.
