Turbulent Flow and Transport: Course Description

'Turbulent Flow and Transport' is taught by Professor Ain Sonin. Students taking part in this free OpenCourseWare will learn about various topics related to turbulence and transport. Some of these topics include applications of turbulence to pipes and channel flows, boundary layers, the Taylor dispersion and flow fields. Other topics include turbulence models and applications, fundamental concepts in turbulence and turbulence modeling, and instability and transition. Students will read lecture outlines and texts from the suggested reading list and complete problem sets. This course was originally offered as a graduate-level course in spring 2002 in a lecture format.

Lecture notes and three problem sets are available as free downloads. If you are interested in taking this free course, please visit the turbulent flow and transport course page.
