Environmental Fluid Mechanics

[0.50] credits · Graduate

This course develops the fundamental and applied knowledge needed to understand, analyze, and design flow processes that occur in the environment (atmosphere, oceans, and built environment). Equations of motion, statistical description of turbulent flows, mean flow equations, wall flows, scales of turbulent motion, and time and frequency domains are discussed. Principles of measurement, in-situ techniques, sonic and ultrasonic techniques, and electromagnetic techniques are introduced.
