ME 8339 – Turbulent Shear Flows
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
·
The midterm will be handed out Tuesday,
November 7 and due back Thursday, November 9 in class. It will be open book and open notes, but you must
work on it ALONE (no help from classmates, websites, etc.). It will cover material up through boundary
layers. There is not time limit, except
it must be handed in at the beginning of class on November 9.
Course
Description: A study of real turbulent flows; flow stability, transition, and
turbulence structure; free shear, pipe, and boundary layer flows; effects of
surface conditions, pressure gradients; approximate solution methods; closure
models.
