For example, studying intermediate studies may require some completed basic studies. These are described on the Information about studies tab of the study unit under prior requirements.When you have been admitted to the studies, you must enrol separately via the Sisu information system for the implementation of the unit of study and, for example if set, for a practise group of your choice. You will receive instructions on how to do this by e-mail after you have confirmed your acceptance of the study place by paying the required fee.

After taking the course, the student knows existing computational approaches for simulating physical and chemical processes in aerosol systems. The student knows the strengths and weaknesses of the presented approaches, and is able to explain the rationale for choosing a suitable approach for a given situation. The student understands the basic principles and concepts of constructing a computational model, such as choosing suitable conservation laws and the concept of the governing equation. The student is able to program a simple aerosol model from scratch and modify existing, more complex model codes. The student knows the main existing open source aerosol models.
