Course - Turbulent Flows - TEP4112
Turbulent Flows
About
About the course
Course content
Phenomenological and theoretical introduction to turbulence, microscales and integral scales. Reynolds' decomposition and Reynolds' averaging. Homogeneous turbulence. Turbulent shear flows: boundary layers, pipe flows and jets. Engineering calculation approaches: integral methods, mean field methods, and large-eddy simulations. Turbulens modelling: algebraic and transport models. Examples of numerical solutions of internal and external flows.
Learning outcome
To enable the participants to understand, formulate and solve turbulent flow problems.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and written exercises. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. At postponed exam (re-sit examination), a written exam may be changed to an oral exam.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Recommended previous knowledge
Priot knowledge about the Navier-Stokes equations, for instance from the course "Viscous flows and boundary layers".
