The course provides on overview on the hydrodynamics of incompressible fluids between laminar flow and fully developed turbulence.
Fundamental techniques like linear stability analysis, bifurcation analysis, and dissipative dynamics in phase space are treated. Besides, fundamental physical mechanisms are studied based on important paradigms: Ginzburg-Landau amplitude equation, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, Rayleigh instability, Taylor-Couette system, Rayleigh-Benard problem, and pipe flow.
