SG2218 Turbulence 7.5 credits

Fundamental phenomena and concepts. Statistical methods. Shear-flow turbulence and the turbulent boundary layer. CFD models for turbulent flow. The theory of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence.

The primary aim of the course is to give the students an overview of turbulent flow and turbulence.

After completing the course a student should be able to;

• use statistical methods to describe and analyse turbulent flow,
• describe and explain the lengthscale structure of turbulence, and
• use an understanding of turbulence to describe the strengths and weaknesses of common CFD models for turbulent flow.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Practical laboratory exercise; homework; and a written test or oral examination.
