Course content

Aerosol science and kinetic theory of gases based on the fluid dynamics are very important to study air pollution problems. In this course, the student will learn the basics of fluid dynamics applied in a small domain and the aerosol science. Also, numerical simulation methods for solving the molecular scale behaviors of gases and materials will be introduced. After that, countermeasure to the air pollution problems will be discussed based on these theories. These theories are also applicable to study the physico-chemical process in micro-machining technique such as applied in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. Applications of these theories on such fields will be also introduced.
