Summary

This course is taught by Prof. JC VASSILICOS Description: This course starts with describing what turbulence is for Newtonian fluids (Navier-Stokes equation, high Reynolds number, unsteadiness and randomness, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation, vorticity, in general three-dimensional) and limits itself to constant-density turbulent flows of Newtonian fluids. It then introduces the need for statistical methods, the ergodic theorem, the Reynolds decomposition and Reynolds stresses, the Boussinesq eddy viscosity hypothesis, and the relation of Reynolds stresses to vorticity. Then the course proceeds with the study of some basic wall flows: turbulent channel flow and turbulent boundary layers with and without zero mean pressure gradient. Much of their study is done with one-point statistics as a lot can be derived for these flows from the one-point momentum balance but the energy balance is also introduced as it is evidently equally important both for these particular wall flows but also in general, and in particular for turbulence modeling. A crucial aspect of the energy balance is the turbulence energy dissipation rate which is independent of viscosity at high enough Reynolds number. The course closes with a brief introduction to one-point turbulence modeling.

Educational goals

At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - use statistical methods in relation to the Navier-Stokes equation - understand the basic physics of wall turbulence and apply them to turbulence modeling - understant some basics of turbulence modeling

Summary

Machine Learning and artificial intelligence are being more and more used in many areas of science and technology and have of course received some attention from the fluid mechanics and turbulence community. A fluid dynamicist should therefore have a clear idea of what these tools are, whether they should be used for his/her purpose and how can they be used. He should of course also know that machine learning does not necessarily equates to neural networks. This course will therefore be a short introduction to machine learning and its use in turbulence. The central principles of machine learning will be reminded and the main methods will be introduced. Recent applications to turbulence will be presented. Finally, some practices using pythons will be proposed

Educational goals

At the end of the course the student should be able to - Know the main principles of machine learning and data based methods. - Know the main types of machine learning (supervised/unsupervised/reinforcement learning etc.) and the main types of algorithms (nearest neighbours, parametric models, neural networks etc.) - Know some of the recent applications of machine learning in turbulence - Use a machine learning library on python to perform fundamental tasks

Summary

This course is taught by Dr. LP LAVAL The course will provide the state of the art on high fidelity simulations (direct numerical simulations and large eddy simulations) of turbulent flows in academic and industrial configurations (isotropic turbulence, wall bounded flows, ᅵ). Then, the basis of high performance programming (MPI and OpenMP programming) are introduced. In a second part, the different families of subgrid scale models are presented and compared. The course will end with a personal practice in which the students perform and analyze a DNS and a LES of Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence.

Educational goals

The first objective is to provide students with an overview of the possibilities with Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) in several flow configurations. As DNS are usually associated to very large simulations and high performance computing . An introduction to parallelisation technics and languages such as MPI and OpenMP will also be offered. In a second part the aim is to provide a thorough knowledge about the theory of Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The different families of subgrid scale models (turbulent viscosity, scale similarity, ...) will be also presented and compared. The aim is to give to the students the ability to lead a project in HPC, design an algorithm for parallel codes and chose the parameters to generate a large numerical database of turbulent flows.

Summary

This course is taught by Prof. JC VASSILICOS Energy considerations motivate the need of two-point statistics for the understanding of the turbulence energy dissipation's independence on viscosity at high enough Reynolds number. The theory of two-point turbulence statistics is presented in a fully generalised Karman-Howarth framework which is then applied to locally homogeneous and locally stationary turbulence (equilibrium) to derive the main results of Kolmogorov 1941. The Taylor-Kolmogorov equilibrium relation for turbulence energy dissipation follows and its pivotal importance for turbulence phenomenology, theory and modeling is explained. This relation is then used to close the mass-momentum-energy equations for planar jets and planar wakes and it is shown how, on the basis of this relation, one can obtain the most basic and important properties of such boundary-free shear flows in cases where they are self-preserving: the jet/wake width growth with streamwise distance and the jet/width mean velocity/velocity deficit decay with streamwise distance. The course goes on to introduce the Turbulent/Non-Turbulent Interface (TNTI) and external intermittency, which is a remarkable phenomenon present very widely in turbulent shear flows. The TNTI is related to entrainment and jet/wake width growth and its mean speed relative to the flow is derived in terms of the Kolmogorov velocity. Finally, this second turbulence course also closes by demonstrating how some of this knowledge has been used in turbulence modelling, one-point turbulence model and the k-epsilon model in particular. Turbulence modelling requires some discussion of decaying homogeneous turbulence and homogeneous turbulence with uniform mean shear. This course's physical basis for two-point turbulence modelling such as Large Eddy Simulation is exploited in the turbulence simulation course.

Educational goals

At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - understand basic physics of interscale energy transfer, cascade and turbulence dissipation - understand the implications on these physics on turbulence dissipation scaling - derive from these physics and scalings theories of self-similar turbulent shear flows, use these theories broadly and apply their consequences to turbulence modeling - understand entrainment and the physics of the turbulent/non-turbulent interface and their consequences on turbulence prediction and modeling - know the caveats of current turbulence modeling and prediction methods
