Learning outcomes Make the student familiar with the introduction of the fundamental properties of turbulence: Random vortical fluctuating structures over a large range of length- and time-scales. Also, the importance of turbulent mixing and the transport of momentum in practical flows will be described. Expose the students to theoretical, numerical and experimental techniques used to describe and quantify the effects of turbulence.
