MAE 214A, Winter 2009TurbulenceProf. Sutanu SarkarMechanical and Aerospace EngineeringMail Code 0411Office: 578 EBU IIPhone: 534-8243Email:[email protected]• Course description: Fundamental aspects of turbulent flow will be discussed. Exampleswill be drawn from experimental and numerical studies of homogeneous turbulence, mixinglayers, jets, wakes and boundary layers. Applications in engineering and in nature willbe considered. Analytical tools to describe turbulent flows and associated mixing will bestudied.• Prerequisites: MAE 210A, 210B or equivalent.• Textbooks: The following book will be used as the primary reference: Turbulent Flows byS. B. Pope. The book Turbulent Flow by P. S. Bernard and J. M. Wallace will also be used.A reading list is provided with the books in that list on reserve in the S&E library.• Course work: There will be an in-class exam (30%) during the week of Feb. 9, threeHWs (40 %) and a take-home exam due during Finals week. (30 %).• Lectures: The times and location are: PCYNH 120 on Tuesday and Thursday, 3:30 -4:50 PM• Office hours: Monday 10:00-11:00MAE 214AReading list(These books are on S&E library reserve)S. B.
