Abstract:

The main topic of Erlend's presentation will be about how commercial finite-element software such as COMSOL Multiphysics is used in practice. He will introduce the finite-element method and some aspect about the implementation in COMSOL. Moreover, he will demonstrate COMSOL Multiphysics on some demo models. 

Short bio:

During Erlend's PhD studies, he worked on mathematical modelling of hydrodynamic memory-effects in marine cybernetics.

Afterwards, he worked at Fedem Technology AS, Sintef Fisheries and Aquaculture and Atmel Norway with mathematical modelling and developing of simulation software.

Since 2012, he has been working at COMSOL Multiphysics.
