CEE 363B: Chaos and Turbulence
An overview of the statistical analysis of unsteady flows, with a focus on chaos and turbulence. Topics will include random variables and statistical analysis; self-similarity, scaling, and symmetries; the turbulent energy cascade and the Kolmogorov similarity hypotheses; intermittency, refined similarity, and multifractal analysis; mixing and transport in chaotic and turbulent flows; and an overview of the effects of additional conservation laws on flow statistics. Prerequisites:
CEE 262A or
ME 351A, or permission of instructor.
Terms: Spr
| Units: 3
Instructors:
Ouellette, N. (PI)
CEE 363F: Oceanic Fluid Dynamics (ESS 363F)
Dynamics of rotating stratified fluids with application to oceanic flows. Topics include: inertia-gravity waves; geostrophic and cyclogeostrophic balance; vorticity and potential vorticity dynamics; quasi-geostrophic motions; planetary and topographic Rossby waves; inertial, symmetric, barotropic and baroclinic instability; Ekman layers; and the frictional spin-down of geostrophic flows. Prerequisite:
CEE 262A or a graduate class in fluid mechanics.
Last offered: Spring 2012
CEE 363G: Field Techniques in Coastal Oceanography
This course focuses on the design and implementation of coastal oceanographic field studies from implementation through analysis. A wide range of field instrumentation and techniques, including AUVs and scientific diving is covered. Field studies. Data collection and analysis under instructor guidance.
Last offered: Spring 2015
CEE 364F: Advanced Topics in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (ESS 364F)
A seminar-style class covering the classic papers on the theory of the large-scale ocean circulation. Topics include: wind-driven gyres, mesoscale eddies and geostrophic turbulence, eddy-driven recirculation gyres, homogenization of potential vorticity, the ventilated thermocline, subduction, and the abyssal circulation. Prerequisite:
EESS 363F or
CEE 363F. Recommended:
EESS 246B.
