課程大綱(Course Outline)
英授(Taught in English)


Objective: To provide graduate students fundamentals of turbulence, in order to help them to conduct research in this field.  By assuming that this is the first course of turbulence to students, emphases are placed on the physics of turbulence and the physical interpretations of the governing equations.

Course outline:

Chapter 1 Introduction: examples of turbulent flow phenomena; characteristics of turbulence; length scales in turbulent flows.

Chapter 2 Equations of Motions for Incompressible Turbulent Flows: Continuity Equation; Momentum Equations; Energy Equations; Vorticity Equation.

Chapter 3 The Dynamics of Turbulence: kinetic energy of the mean flow; kinetic energy of the turbulence; vorticity dynamics.

Chapter 4 Boundary-Free Shear Flows: almost parallel, two-dimensional flows; turbulent wakes; turbulent jets and mixing layers.

Chapter 5 Wall-Bounded Shear Flows: the problem of multiple scales; turbulent flows in pipes and channels; the downstream development of turbulent boundary layers.
