Description
Course covers basic theory and description of turbulent flows and turbulent mixing processes: Statistical analysis, scaling analysis, and equilibrium range theories. Course covers modeling of turbulent flows, including k-e and Reynolds stress modeling, a variety of stochastic models for turbulent scalar mixing, and large eddy simulation. Physically based descriptions of turbulent flows from both experimental observation and direct numerical simulation are included. Offered even numbered years.
