Credit: 4 hours.

Introduction to dynamics, control, and modeling of flows in natural aquatic environments in the presence of space and time variations in density stratification caused by temperature, salinity, and suspended particles. Tools include scaling, dimensional analysis and turbulent boundary-layer theory leading to integral methods for solving flows such as plumes, density currents, thermal pollution, lake stratification, air-entrainment in spillways and salt wedges in estuaries. Integral methods are used to obtain engineering solutions followed by numerical modeling of turbulent boundary-layer flows in rivers, lakes and oceans.
