This course develops the physical foundations of turbulent flow through examples from homogeneous turbulence, mixing layers, jets, wakes, and boundary layers. Topics include Reynolds averaging and closure, isotropic turbulence, vorticity dynamics, canonical shear flows, scaling and self-preservation, wall-bounded turbulence, and transport of passive and active scalars.
A dual-level course for senior undergraduate and graduate students covering fluid-mechanical and aerodynamic principles for airfoils and aircraft wings, supported by guiding theory and observations used to analyze aircraft configurations.
Finite-difference methods and associated numerical techniques for partial differential equations encountered in engineering and physics.
An introduction to fluid mechanics and the foundational concepts used to analyze thermal-fluid systems.
