MECH 575
INTRODUCTION TO HYDRODYNAMIC STABILITY
Introduction to linear and nonlinear instabilities that cause transition from laminar to turbulent flows in thermos-fluid systems. The physics of various canonical instability mechanisms and the mathematical and numerical frameworks common in stability analysis are discussed. Examples from industrial, geophysical, environmental, and astrophysical flows are presented. Recommended Prerequisite(s): MECH 371 or CEVE 363 or EEPS 465 or CMOR 410 or CHBE 401 . Repeatable for Credit.
