Grenzschichttheorie

What it is about

You deepen the theory of boundary layers based on the Navier–Stokes equations. You learn derivations, analytical solutions and models for incompressible, compressible, two-dimensional and three-dimensional boundary layers as well as temperature boundary layers, stability and turbulence and experimental methods. In the end you can estimate boundary layer problems, derive approximate solutions and describe the transition to turbulence.

What you will be able to do

• Formulate simplifications of viscous flow equations (fluid mechanics, thermodynamics)
• Form boundary layer equations for different flow classes
• Describe the behavior of the flow near walls approximately using simple differential equations
• Estimate boundary layer parameters by integral relations
• Qualitatively and quantitatively assess approximate solutions of boundary layer theory for complex external flows
• Explain the emergence of turbulence by describing the transition process
