Course content

The course will contain the following subjects:

  • Introduction to Cartesian tensors
  • Isotropic and homogeneous turbulence
  • Turbulence structures
  • Reynolds equations
  • Parallel shear flows
  • Single-point modelling:
    1. Scalar variable models:
      • Eddy-viscosity models
      • Explicit algebraic models
    2. Tensor variable models
      • Pressure-strain modelling
    3. Near-wall modelling:
      • Local models
      • Elliptic relaxation

Application procedure

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.

If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.

Learning outcomes

The course gives an introduction to turbulent shear flows and a specialization within turbulence modelling. Fundamental aspects of turbulence and its coupling to single-point models are emphasized. The course gives an important basis for the use and development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods within research and within a broad spectrum of applications (e.g. meteorology, oceanography, process and energy and flow physics). The course is recommended for specialization in fluid mechanics at the master level.
