PME 5110-0

Brief

Turbulence, or turbulent flow, is a phenomenon which occurs in an extraordinarily wide range of circumstances, both in engineering contexts such as aerodynamics, hydraulics, naval engineering and chemical engineering; and in the natural contexts provided by geophysics, particularly meteorology and oceanography, and astrophysics. In all such circumstances, the Reynolds number, which representing scales characterizing the ratio of the input and the dissipation of energy in the flow, is large (typically 10^6 or much greater), and the turbulent state must be regarded as natural and unavoidable in such circumstances. Fundamental aspects of turbulent flow will be discussed. Examples will be provided from experimental and numerical studies of homogeneous turbulence, mixing la<x>yers, jets, wakes and boundary la<x>yers. Applications in engineering and in nature will be considered. Analytical tools to describe turbulent flows will be introduced.
