About

About the course

Course content

The subject is tought every second year, next time autumn 2009 and thereafter again autumn 2011.
The main topics covered are:
- Turbulence structure and dynamics: anisotropy, vorticity, pressure, body forces and rotation.
- Advanced simulation concepts: direct and large-eddy simulations, rapid-distortion theory.

Learning outcome

The subject gives deep knowledge on some selected topics in order to enhance the understanding of theories and mathematical models of turbulent flows.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, seminars and self-studying. Voluntary exercises.

Required previous knowledge

The subject requires good basic knowledge about fluid mechanics and some knowledge about turbulence.

Course materials

Notes, journal articles and book chapters (all in English).
