TEK9620 – Advanced Turbulence Modelling and Simulations
Course description
Course content
The course will provide a comprehensive grounding in the subject of turbulence modeling and simulations, and develop both the physical insight and the mathematical framework needed to understand turbulence model formulations and their inherent limitations.
Learning outcome
After completion of the course you will have the following competence:
- Understand the basic principles of turbulence modeling
- Ability to understand the basic limitations of the most commonly used modeling approaches as well as to analyze turbulent flows using single-point descriptions
- Insight into basic turbulence physics
- Become a knowledgeable user of turbulence models
- Insight into advanced modeling approaches related to Large Eddy Simulations.
- Understand the use and limitations of Direct Numerical Simulations of turbulent flows.
Admission to the course
PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through?Studentweb.
If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.
PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must?apply for a position as a visiting student?within a given deadline.
Recommended previous knowledge
It is an advantage with some knowledge from the courses?MEK3230 – Fluid Mechanics and MEK4300 – Viscous Flow and Turbulence/MEK9300 – Viscous Flow and Turbulence.

This course has two mandatory assignments, which must be approved before you can sit the final exam.
Examination
- Final oral exam which counts 100% towards the final grade.
Two mandatory assignments must be approved before you can sit the final exam.
It will also be counted as one of the three attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses: TEK5620 – Advanced Turbulence Modelling and Simulations (discontinued), UNIK4900 – Advanced Turbulence Modeling and Simulations (continued), UNIK9900 – Advanced Turbulence Modeling and Simulations (continued)
Examination support material
No examination support material is allowed.
Language of examination
Subjects taught in English will only offer the exam paper in English. You may write your examination paper in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English.
Grading scale
Grades are awarded on a pass/fail scale. Read more about the grading system.
Resit an examination
Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.
Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass the original examination.
