Introduction to Turbulence. 3 credits

Catalog description

Introduces beginning graduate students to the theory of turbulence. The theory of homogeneous-isotropic turbulence is introduced, followed by a discussion of sheared and wall-bounded turbulence. Some aspects of coherent structures in turbulence will be introduced as well as models used in computing turbulence. Specially designed projects are intended to enable students to apply what they have learned to different flow situations. Offered by Mechanical Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
