Advanced course on turbulent
wall bounded flows (6 hp)
- a
unique course within the Linné Flow Centre graduate
school
Turbulent flows are
important in many branches of engineering such as aeronautics, vehicle
engineering, energy conversion (water, wind and gas turbines), combustion etc.,
but also in many natural occurring flows in the atmosphere, the ocean or the
interaction between such flows and the ground or ground mounted objects. In
this course we are focussing on various aspects of high Reynolds number wall
bounded flows. The course is given during April and May 2008 in
connection with the visits of several world-renown scientists to the Linné Flow Centre
for the high Reynolds number jamboree in the MTL wind tunnel in May.
The course will consist of about 24 h
lectures/seminars mainly given by invited speakers. The participating students
will get 2-3 articles to study before each lecture/seminar. These articles are
related to the subject considered during the lecture.
The examination is both through active participation
during the lectures and a final seminar where groups of two to three students
will be given a small “research” task to be presented to the other participants
and interested audience.
Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of turbulent
flows, such as the course SG2218 Turbulence at KTH.
There
will be a limit of 15 students for participation in the course. However all lectures/seminars are open for
interested students/ researchers.
This outstanding
course will formally inaugurate the new FLOW
The following
lectures/seminars are planned:
The first lecture will take place on April 9, 15-17 in lecture room E53, Osquarsbacke 14.
It will be a
general presentation of the course, some of the papers to be read will be
distributed and the final assignments will be presented.
