ASTR 5410 - Fluid Instabilities,Waves,and Turbulence

Institution:

University of Colorado Boulder

Subject:

Description:

Involves linear and nonlinear analyses of small-scale waves and instabilities in stratified fluids, with effects of rotation. Studies internal gravity and acoustic waves with terrestrial, planetary, and astrophysical applications. Also studies thermal and double-diffusive convection, homogeneous and stratified shear flow instabilities. Examines these topics from the onset of small amplitude disturbances to their nonlinear development and equilibration. Prereq., ASTR 5400 or ATOC 5060. Same as ATOC 5410.
