MAE 214A, Spring 2010TurbulenceProf. Sutanu SarkarMechanical and Aerospace EngineeringMail Code 0411Office: 578 EBU IIPhone: 534-8243Email:[email protected]• Course description: Fundamental aspects of turbulent flow will be discussed. Examples willbe drawn from experimental and numerical studies of homogeneous turbulence, mixing layers,jets, wakes and boundary layers. Applications in engineering and in nature will be considered.Analytical tools to describe turbulent flows and associated mixing will be studied.• Prerequisites: MAE 210A, 210B or equivalent.• Textbooks: The following book will be used as the primary reference: Turbulent Flows by S. 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 three HWs (60 %) and a take-home exam due during Finals week.(40 %). The HW’s must be your own work.• Lectures: The times and location are: WLH 2114 on Tuesday and Thursday, 3:30 - 4:50 PM• Office hours: Thursday 1:00-2:00MAE 214AReading list(These books are on S&E library reserve)S.
