- Basic understanding of the physics of turbulence - Recognition of differences between fluid and (magnetized) plasma turbulence - Basic knowledge of turbulence numerical simulation - Basic knowledge of experimental techniques to measure turbulence and turbulent fields

1. Introduction to turbulence 2. The Navier-Stokes equation 3. Turbulence Basics in fluids 4. Two-dimensional turbulence 5. Experimental techniques to measure turbulence in fluids 6. Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence 7. Physics of magnetohydrodynamic dynamos 8. Numerical simulation of turbulence in fusion plasmas 9. Physics of turbulence-generated zonal flows in fusion plasmas 10.

- Topics are discussed in class with the help of slides that are provided to students. - Selected research articles from the area of turbulence are handed to the students that, in small groups, must work through them, extract the main ideas, and present them in class at the end of the course.
