CEN 475 - Introduction to Environmental Turbulence

Credits 3.00
Lecture
Requirements: Prerequisite: CEN 303 & CEN 325
Fundamental fluid dynamics underpinning turbulence theory. Emphasis is placed on both mathematical and physical understanding. Random variables and their quantification are introduced, as are dimensional scaling/analysis and non-dimensional quantities, including the Reynolds, Richardson and Prandtl numbers. Other emphases include exchange of energy between mean flow and turbulence, diffusion, modern data analysis techniques, recent observations and newly emerging observational tools.
