Aim: To introduce the students to the basic hydrodynamic concepts within turbulence and waves.
Contents: The course is divided into 2 main subjects: A) Laminar and turbulent flows in channels and boundary layers B) Wave hydrodynamics The laminar and turbulent flows are described by the conservation equations for mass and momentum, and a constitutive equation. The concepts: mixing length, eddy viscosity, and Reynolds stresses are introduced. The energy balance in a turbulent flow is described and used for more detailed turbulence descriptions (turbulence models). The boundary layers are described by the use of the conservation equations for momentum in both differential and integrated form. The wave hydrodynamics comprises both linear shallow water waves where a hydrostatic pressure distribution can be assumed, and the more general sinusoidal waves (first order theory). Wave refraction and shoaling are treated. The wave radiation stress is introduced and is used to describe phenomena as set-up and longshore currents in the surf zone.
