Course Name: Physics of Turbulence

Course abstract

Turbulence is everywhere—in the interiors and atmospheres of planets and stars, galaxies, biological systems including human body, engineering flows, etc. In this course, we will cover fundamental aspects of turbulence—Kolmogorov’s theory of turbulence in spectral and real space; two-dimensional turbulence; energy transfers; enstrophy and kinetic helicity cascades; more complex applications, such as passive scalar, turbulent thermal convection, and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.

Prof. Mahendra K. Verma

Mahendra Verma received his Ph.D. degree from University of Maryland. Presently he is a Professor at the Physics Department of Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. He is a recipient of Swarnajayanti fellowship, INSA Teachers Award, and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Cray HPC Awards. He authored the books “Introduction to Mechanics”, “Physics of Buoyant Flows: From Instabilities to Turbulence”, and “Energy Transfers in Fluids Flows: Multiscale and Spectral Perspectives”. His research interests include turbulence, nonlinear dynamics, high-performance computing, and non-equilibrium statistical physics. He and his group have developed a spectral code TARANG that can simulate variety of fluid flows.
