Course Objectives		• Presenting the basic concepts and knowledge about turbulence which is a common research phenomenon in many different disciplines, such as Hydraulics; Coastal, Environmental, Aerospace and Energy Engineering. • Solution of steady and oscillatory turbulent boundary layers by means of analytical and experimental methods. • Presenting the primary statistical and spectral methods for investigation of turbulence. • Investigation of mixing and dispersion in a turbulent boundary layer by means of analytical and numerical methods. • Presenting the primary turbulence models and providing examples for application of turbulence theory.
Course Description		Introduction. Reynolds averaging and decomposition. Basic equations of continuity, momentum and energy. Flow in steady boundary layers for zero and non-zero pressure gradient; smooth and rough walls; turbulence-modeling approach for steady boundary layers. Flow resistance. Bursting process. Statistical and spectral analysis of turbulence. Diffusion and dispersion in turbulent flows. Laminar and turbulent wave boundary layers. Turbulence modeling. Applications of turbulence theory.
Course Outcomes		Completing this course successfully, a student: 1. Will have an insight into the physics of turbulent flows and be able to link different geophysical flows through turbulence. 2. Will be able to comprehensively handle and analyze turbulent flow data. 3. Will be capable to model turbulent dispersion by random walk model. 4. Will have a general understanding of wave boundary layers. 5. Will have a detailed picture of bursting process and related non-dimensional parameters. 6. Will have the basic knowledge to conduct turbulence modeling by various freeware/licensed software. 7. Will build a sound foundation in order to understand many turbulent related processes (sediment entrainment, vibration¸ mixing, etc.).
