MEEN 6300 - Turbulent Flow

3 hours

Provides an introduction to turbulent flows. Provides an understanding of the nature of turbulent flows, statistical descriptions of turbulent flows, mean flow equations and Reynolds stresses, turbulence in free shear flows (round jet, plane jet, mixing layer, and wake) with experimental observations, scales of turbulent motion and energy cascade, Kolmogorov hypothesis, turbulence in wall bounded flows (channel flow, pipe flow, boundary layer), and basic features of turbulence modeling approaches (direct numerical simulations, turbulence-viscosity models, large-eddy simulations).

Prerequisite(s): Consent of department.
