Module title:Waves, Instabilities and Turbulence
Module codeMTHM030
Module lecturers:Prof Beth Wingate
Module credits:15

Waves and turbulence are both ubiquitous phenomena in fluid flows, and both are often associated with the instability of simpler flows. They arise in many important theoretical and practical applications, ranging from engineering to meteorology and astrophysics. This module will extend your ability to formulate fluid flow problems in terms of partial differential equations, and develop a range of mathematical techniques for analysing the fluid behaviour. The module will emphasise physical interpretation, as well as mathematical technique. Computer-based practical exercises will help you to visualise fluid phenomena and develop your understanding.

Pre-requisite modules: MTH1003 Mathematical Modelling and MTH3007 Fluid Dynamics, or equivalent
