JMBC Turbulence course
TU Delft, January 31 - February 3, 2022


Description

book cover This course gives an introduction to the fundamentals of turbulence. It is aimed at PhD students and other researchers from the JM Burgerscentrum. Prerequisite knowledge of turbulence is not required, though may be helpful to keep up with the pace of the lectures. Basic knowledge of fluid mechanics is assumed. The first two days of the course are dedicated to classical turbulence theory such as can be found in the textbooks of S.B. Pope (Turbulent Flows), P.A. Davidson (Turbulence) and Tennekes & Lumley (A First Course in Turbulence), among others. The lectures on fundamentals of turbulence I-IV are based on the book Introduction to Theory and Applications of Turbulent Flows by Nieuwstadt, Westerweel, and Boersma (right image). Students from the 4TU (TU Delft, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of Twente or University of Wageningen) can download the book for free here, while participants from industry will recieve a hard copy of the book.
