+ | ====== Dynamics of Turbulence Study Group ====== | ||
+ | PHYS-8901/9000, Georgia Institute of Technology\\ | ||
+ | Predrag Cvitanović and John F. Gibson\\ | ||
+ | Spring semester 2009, Tu 12:05-1:25 in Howey W505\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | New connections between turbulence and nonlinear dynamical systems theory have recently been opened by the discovery of exact equilibria, traveling waves, and periodic orbits of the Navier-Stokes equations above the onset of turbulence; for a tour of this recently breached territory see www.chaosbook.org/tutorials. The study group will explore these solutions and chart out the state-space dynamics of turbulence, | ||
+ | using the www.channelflow.org numerical analysis software for plane Couette and Poiseuille flow. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The GaTech world domination of the wall-bounded shear flows is assured once this study group's enlistees seize the time, get into the trenches and start multishooting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The study group is aimed at PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and advanced undergraduates in physics, mathematics, chemistry and engineering. | ||
