Institution:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Governing equations, and statistical and dynamical theories of turbulence. Isotropic homogeneous turbulence, near wall turbulence, effects of free surface and surfactants and moving body boundary. Direct numerical simulations, large eddy simulations and sub-grid scale modeling, Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and RANS turbulence models. Flow instability and transitions, almost parallel flows and inviscid and viscous instabilities.
