Course Information

Course Description

The course SG2218 Turbulence is a 7.5 credit course that provides an overview of turbulent flows. The course covers fundamental phenomena and concepts, statistical methods, shear-flow turbulence, and the turbulent boundary layer. It also explores CFD models and experimental methods for turbulent flow.

Course Contents

• Fundamental phenomena and concepts
• Statistical methods
• Shear-flow turbulence and the turbulent boundary layer
• CFD models and experimental methods for turbulent flow
• The theory of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence

Intended Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, a student should be able to:

• Use statistical methods to describe and analyze turbulent flow
• Describe and explain the length scales and structure of turbulence
• Simplify the governing equations for specific flow cases, and derive the averaged momentum balances and scaling laws
• Understand the description of turbulent flows close to solid walls (turbulent boundary layer)
• Apply common turbulence modelling approaches (RANS, LES) to engineering problems
• Understand common experimental methods applicable to turbulent flows
