Turbulence in environmental
flows
Abstract. Turbulence is one of the last mysteries, not yet fully understood, in nonlinear fluid mechanics (including multiphase flows). In this course, we provide an
introduction to turbulence by coupling the analysis of the most used numerical models (e.g., k-epsilon model) and the interpretation of
real-world measurements, with a special focus on processes occurring in the
atmosphere and in stratified water bodies such as lakes. The course covers
theoretical and numerical aspects of turbulence modelling and introduces the necessary statistical tools for the analysis of data from turbulence observations both in the field and in the laboratory. Theoretical aspects are supported by numerous
hands-on tutorials.
Please share this information with your colleagues and students that may be interested in these topics, covering also the field of atmospheric physics.
Hope to see you in Trento!
