| Module Number: | 13311 - module is no longer offered from SS 2010 |
| Module Title: | Waves and Instabilities in Fluids |
| Wellen und Instabilitäten in Flüssigkeiten | |
| Department: | Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Computer Science |
| Responsible Staff Member: |
|
| Language of Teaching / Examination: | English |
| Duration: | 1 semester |
| Frequency of Offer: | Each winter semester even year |
| Credits: | 6 |
| Learning Outcome: | Students master the foundations of hydrodynamics with regard to theoretical and phenomenological aspects. The topic of the module serves as an example for studying the realization of knowledge and the classification of knowledge within the field of physics. In addition the module supports further competences as e. g. cooperation ability, carefullness, persistance, curiosity, working on one's own initiative. |
| Contents: | 1. Hydrodynamic basic equations: Euler, Navier-Stokes, continuity, energy, concentration(s) 2. Surface waves: Potential flow, deep and shallow water, solitons, Tsunamis, capillary waves 3. Instabilities: general principles, bifurcation theory, classification 4. Unstable systems: Kelvin-Helmhotz, Rayleigh-Taylor, convection, mixtures, thin films |
