YT course on turbulent flows
Hi everyone! I've been invested in fluid mechanics research for a while now, and I've wanted to put together an introductory course on turbulence for some time. One that connects the physics directly to the equations that are derived from first principles. I've just posted an overview video kicking off that series. It's aimed at senior undergrads, postgrad students, and engineers who use turbulence models in solvers like ANSYS or OpenFOAM and want to understand what's actually going on under the hood.
The course covers two halves: the first on flow physics (Reynolds decomposition, RANS derivation, TKE budget, Kolmogorov theory, wall-bounded and free shear flows), and the second on modelling and computation (k-ε, k-ω SST, LES, solver implementation and data analysis). Lecture notes will be shared alongside each video.
If that sounds like something useful, the overview is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=436HwwfMH4A
Happy to hear any thoughts on the structure or topics, always useful to know what gaps people feel are missing in existing resources.
