Description: TURBULENCE: THEORY AND MODELING ***** Presentation of the theory and modeling of turbulence including: vortex stretching, energy cascade, Reynolds stresses, law of the wall, Fourier analysis, and statistical methods. The properties of homogeneous turbulence, boundary layers, and free shear layers will be examined using computational and experimental databases. A hierarchy of turbulence models will be presented, including: algebraic, one-equation, two-equation, and Reynolds stress closures, and Large Eddy Simulation.
