After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• comprehend the nature of turbulent flows and
• the necessary mathematical tools in their essence and
• to apply those in the course of their further studies (CFD course UE 322.057) and in engineering practice.

Governing equations for mass/momentum/energy transport, brief introduction in laminar-turbulent transition, statistical description of turbulent flows, scales in turbulent flows, mean-flow equations, shear flows (pipe and channel flows, attached boundary layers, free shear layers).

Presentation at the blackboard, skeleton script, uploading handouts covering specific topics.

A script will be prepared in the course of the lectures.

Exam.

A script is in preparation - supplement/completion: ongoing. A list of further reading is provided in the script!

Fundamental knowledge in continuum and fluid mechanics as well as thermodynamics required, as tought in typical courses for engineering students.
