Description of contents: programme
1 Introduction 2 Statistical description 2.1 Statistical tools 2.2 Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes equations 2.3 Closure Problem 3 Free shear flows 3.1 Mixing layers, jets, wakes. 4 The scales of turbulent flows 4.1 Energy cascade 5 Wall-bounded shear flows 5.1 Channel flow, pipe flow, boundary layers. 6 Modelling turbulence: DNS, LES, RANS 7 Introduction to RANS modelling 7.1 Eddy-viscosity models 7.2 Reynolds-stress models 8 Introduction to LES modelling
Learning activities and methodology
There will be theory lectures to introduce the physics of turbulent flows and its modelling. The students will need to solve simple problems with analytical solution. In addition they will need to solve numerical problems using Matlab or any other programming environment of their choice.
