Course content
Type of classes - LECTURES 1 Methods of describing fluid motion, Euler and Lagrange approaches, application in situations typical in environmental aerodynamics. 2 Equations of fluid flow, specific mathematical models, basic properties of those models. 3 Hydrodynamic instability of laminar shear flows, transition to turbulence. 4 Turbulence, definition, properties, properties of fully developed turbulent flows in environmental aerodynamics, methods of mathematical modelling those flows. 5 Scalar transport in laminar and turbulent flows, phenomenology and mathematical modelling. 6 Seepage in porous media, physical models, mathematical description of the physical process. 7 Atmospheric boundary layer, basic properties, characteristic parameters. 8 Rayleigh-Bénard convection as a fundamental mechanism of atmospheric dynamical behaviour. Aspects related to deterministic chaos. 9 Climate and weather, typical dynamical behaviour of atmosphere on various time-scales. 10 Two-phase flow, thermodynamic of wet air. 11 Water flow in rivers and reservoirs, interaction of such flows. Type of classes - LABORATORY 1 Velocity evaluation in an experimental facility using a selected experimental method. 2 Turbulence measurement within a turbulent boundary layer (PIV, LDA, HW). 3 Visualisation of flow around a building (PIV). 4 Visualisation of inhomogeneity in water vessel (EIT).
