MEC427 Theory and Application of Turbulence (10 credits)

Year Running: 2017/2018

Credit level: F7

Pre-requisites		No
Co-requisites		No
Pre Uni Qualification		A basic knowledge of fluid flow including an introducation to the Navier-Stokes equations

Description

The present course will present the basic concepts of turbulence to students, so that they can use any textbook on turbulence. Students will be familiarised with the equations and mathematical modelling used in analysis of turbulence. They will be able to carry out useful interpretations of turbulent phenomena, to quantify turbulence and characterise it. Students will learn how to use statistical tools in engineering in general with a particular application to turbulence. Students will learn how to analyse random phenomena using modern tools such as fractal analysis.
