The advances in fundamental understanding over the past few decades together with the advent of large scale computational and diagnostic capabilities present the scientist and engineer with the first real capabilities for understanding and managing turbulent flows. This course will provide an introduction to the fundamentals of turbulent flow. The focus will be on understanding the averaged equations of motion and the underlying physics they contain. The goal will be to provide the student with the tools necessary to continue the study of turbulence, whether in the university or industrial setting. The course will be a multi-university cooperative effort.
Students can register at the university of their choice.
A list of participating institutions and faculty is appended. The course will utilized modern interactive tools including a chat room, web-based lecture notes and assignments. Students can choose between a final paper or a presentation at a special session of The 1000 Islands Regional Fluids Conference.
