Course description and aims

Various kind of turbulence phenomena in nature are discussed from an environmental and disaster mitigation point of view in urban field. Its analytical understanding and representation of model are shown. Physical mechanism of buoyancy in comlex turbulence and the resulting characteristics of atmospheric turbulent boundary layer are clarified. In numerical analysis of turbulence, the mathematical description and physical meaning of turbulence transport are indicated and the simulation technique is explained for environmental and disaster mitigation problems.

Student learning outcomes

Real flow field in urban environment is captured as turbulence in the fluid dynamic sense and its physical mechanism is understood. Weak wind sensitively affected by temperature and strong wind required for capturing fluctuating behavior are discussed by the environmental and disaster mitigation senses. Numerical model and the predictive method are studied. Also, based on the simulation examples, the methods for solving the problems are confirmed.
