6 CPWinterENFÜS
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
Basics in Fluid Mechanics
Contents
In the course we discuss the basic concepts of turbulence modeling. Subjects are: • Conservation equations and canonical flows • Basic concepts of computational fluid mechanics • The problem related to turbulent flow simulation • Algebraic, 1-, and 2 equation models • Reynolds stress models • Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) approaches • Large Eddy Simulation (LES) • Direct numerical simulation (DNS) • Hybrid turbulence models • Stochastic turbulence models
Learning outcomes
The students know different approaches to model turbulent flows. They are able to decide which turbulence model is adequate for different applications.
Assessment
Oral exam, duration 30-40 min.
