Turbulent boundary layers
Alexander Chorin, University of California Berkeley

330 Baskin Engineering Building
September 28, 2004
Tuesday, 4:00 pm
This colloquium seminar is being hosted jointly with the Applied Mathematics & Statistics Department.

ABSTRACT:
After a short introduction to scaling theory, I will present a mathematical model of turbulent boundary layers whose properties can be rigorously established. I will compare it with experimental data and draw conclusions about the Navier-Stokes equations and about turbulence. (This is joint work with G.I. Barenblatt).
