    MECH 484 Turbulence and Its

    Measurement
    Lecturer: Uur Karban

    karban@metu.edu.tr Room R-215


    Who am I?

    Campus)
    M.Sc. thesis on implementation of a 3-D boundary element
    method using `fast multipole approach
    Ph.D. in von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics &
    Technical University of Munich
    Studied prediction of the noise generated by a model

    About the MECH 484 course
    We will answer the following questions
    What is turbulence?
    How do we define it using mathematics?
    How can we solve it?
    What are types of turbulent flows?
    How do we measure turbulence?

    Some practices to focus on
    How to interpret a given mathematical expression
    Dimensional analysis
    Tools to analyze experimental data
    Course policy
    You may use all your electronic devices during the course
    I strongly recommend minimized use of paper for lecture
    notes!!!
    Lecture notes will be uploaded to ODTUClass BUT
    No equations will be provided in the notes
    Instead there will be enough space on relevant pages for you
    to add the necessary equations
    Grading
    Assignments 20 pts
    2 Mid-Terms 25 pts each
    Final Project 30 pts
    Bonus points
    3 pts for 100 % attendance
    3 pts in total for those who actively join the in-class
    discussions
    Will be added to your final grade calculated out of 100
    pts
    So, bonuses may carry you TWO LETTERS up!
    Your letter grades may be re-scaled based on the class
    average BUT
    do not expect such big deviations from the catalog!!!
    What will we need for this course?
