MAE 7340 - Analysis of Turbulent Flows


Fall. 4 credits.

Prerequisite: MAE 6010  Foundations of Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics or permission of instructor. Offered alternate years.

Staff.

Study of methods for calculating the properties of turbulent flows. Characteristics of turbulent flows. Direct numerical simulations, and the closure problem. Reynolds-stress equation: effects of dissipation, anisotropy, deformation. Transported scalars. Probability density functions (pdf’s): transport equations, relationship to second-order closures, stochastic modeling, and the Langevin equation. Large-eddy simulations: filtered and residual motions, Smagorinsky, and dynamics models. The course emphasized comparison of theory with experiment.
