Wake Flows - Course

Coordinators:

Fulvio Scarano and Bas van Oudheusden (TUD)

Description

This 5-day course will focus on:

• The essential concepts of wake flows and their relevance
• The various important characteristics of wake flows and their impact (momentum deficit, drag, unsteadiness, vorticity)
• The commonalities as well as differences for wakes in various technology domains
• The fluid-dynamic background of the origin of wake formation (separation, effect of viscosity, instability); effect of Reynolds number (+ Mach, Froude)

The course also includes a wakes workshop.
