Nombre d’ECTS : 3

Langue d’enseignement : Anglais

The course will focus on the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, notably at high Reynolds numbers, when Turbulence is important.
This will be a course in turbulence theory. The goal is to obtain a precise physical and mathematical understanding of turbulent phenomena (i.e. experiments!) based on the fluid equation of motion. This is not a course on modelling of turbulence, which is the focus of many excellent texts, e.g. Pope, Tennekes & Lumley. The subject is dealt with using tools from dynamical systems and statistical mechanics.
A more general purpose is to provide a basic knowledge of these phenomena as they can be view as paradigmatic for nonlinear physics.

The following aspects will be discussed in detail:

(i) Foundation of Macroscopic Hydrodynamics
(ii) Conservation Laws in Incompressible Navier-Stokes
(iii)Large-scale dynamics and Energy cascade
(iv)Phenomenology à la Kolmogoroff
(v) Intermittency and Anomalous scaling, with a discussion on Large Deviations.

Moreover, some present researches in turbulence will be briefly presented in the form of seminars. Possible subjects will be: Wave-Turbulence; Turbulent Convection; Micro-swimmers dynamics; Transition to Turbulence; Inertial particles; MHD.
The exam will be either a written exam or a seminar concerning a subject related to turbulent research.
