Physics of Turbulence

IIT Kanpur, , Prof. Prof. Mahendra Verma

Updated On 02 Feb, 19

Overview

Turbulence is everywherein the interiors and atmospheres of planets and stars, galaxies, biological systems including human body, engineering flows, etc. In this course, we will cover fundamental aspects of turbulenceKolmogorovs theory of turbulence in spectral and real space; two-dimensional turbulence; energy transfers; enstrophy and kinetic helicity cascades; more complex applications, such as passive scalar, turbulent thermal convection, and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.

Includes

Lecture 5: Lecture 5: Basic hydrodynamics - Example problems

4.1 ( 11 )
