| Description |
The course deals with analysis and modelling of laminar and turbulent flows. |
| Prerequisites |
The knowledge of mathematics (vector and tensor calculus, PDE, Fourier transformation), hydraulics and process kinetics. |
| Course content |
Laminar flows: Newtonian fluids and the Navier-Stokes equations, analytical and numerical solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations, creeping flow, laminar boundary layers, instability of viscous flows. Turbulent flows: Scales of turbulent motion, statistical description of turbulent flows, free shear flows and wall flows, modelling and simulation of turbulent flows, including: semi-empirical models, statistical models (Reynolds Stress and related models, PDF methods), spectral dynamics, Navier-Stokes equation in Fourier space and related models, deterministic models (DNS, LES), chaos and turbulence, multifractal approach and coherent structures. |
