TEK5620 – 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
Admission to the course
Students admitted at UiO must?apply for courses?in Studentweb. Students enrolled in other Master's Degree Programmes can, on application, be admitted to the course if this is cleared by their own study programme.
Nordic citizens and applicants residing in the Nordic countries may?apply to take this course as a single course student.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about?admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.
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.

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: TEK9620 – 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 scale from A to F, where A is the best grade and F is a fail. 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.
