- environmental fluid mechanics

Responsible(s)

Olivier METAIS

Content(s)

Turbulence: physical and modelling aspects(12 h of lecture and 4h of supervised work)
Content:
o Turbulent flows characteristics
o Statistical approach : averaging, Reynolds equations ; turbulent eddy-viscosity and diffusivity ; turbulent boundary layer ; energy mechanisms: production and dissipation
o Statistical tools and theories : correlations ; Fourier space ; kinetic energy and dissipation spectra ; turbulent scales ; Kolmogorov theory
o Turbulent shear flows : example of the plane jet
o The different approaches for turbulence modelling and simulation: statistical modelling, direct numerical simulation, large eddy simulation
o Statistical modelling: concept of order ; zero, one and two-equations models ;
k-epsilon model; second order model
o Large-eddy simulation : methodology ; Smagorinsky model

Diffusion and dispersion in the Environment (6 h of lecture et 2h of supervised work)
Content :
o Diffusion concept and Fick’s law : diffusion equation ; molecular and turbulent diffusion coefficients
o Unidirectional diffusion problem : concentrated injection ; extended injection ; presence of walls ; diffusion in a current
o Multidirectional diffusion problems : concept of plume
o Dispersion in shear flows : longitudinal dispersion coefficient
o Application to turbulent flows in rivers : characteristic turbulent velocity and velocity profile ; mixing distances in rivers ; flow rate determination
o Diffusion in fully-developed turbulence: diffusion of a cloud of tracers ; particle dispersion ; dispersion of particles ; Taylor’s theorem ; Richardson law .

Environmental fluid mechanics (12h of lecture et 12h of supervised work)
Content :

  • Dimensional analysis and Vashy-Buckingham theorem
  • Laminar boundary layer : Blasius equation and resolution methods ; boundary layer with adverse pressure gradient and separation
  • Energy equation ; Equation de l’énergie ; Compressible flow statics and concept of atmospheric stability
