The Role of Turbulent Coherent Structures on the Evolving Seabed - Tian-Jian Hsu

This course focuses on the role of turbulent coherent structures in understanding geophysical and environmental fluid flows involving bubbles, drops, and particles. The learning outcomes include gaining insights into the dynamics of particle- and droplet-laden flows in the geosciences and discussing common approaches to understanding multi-scale and multi-physics nature of multiphase geophysical flows. The course teaches skills in field observations, laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical approaches. The teaching method involves presentations and discussions at a conference. The intended audience for this course is researchers with expertise in the physics of geophysical flows involving particles and droplets.
