CEE 7360 - [Turbulence and Turbulent Mixing in Environmental Stratified Flows]


     
Fall. Next Offered 2018-2019. 3 credits.

Prerequisite: CEE 6550  or second course in fluid mechanics or with instructor’s permission.

P. J. Diamessis.

Fundamentals of stably stratified flows, stratified homogeneous turbulence (spectra, lengthscales, and timescales), kinematics of diapycnal mixing, basic turbulent flow processes in homogeneous and stratified fluids (shear layers, wakes, boundary layers, etc.), energy budget analysis, and parameterizations of geophysical turbulence. Additional topics may include fossil turbulence theory and vortex-internal wave decomposition in strongly stratified turbulence.
