Analysis and Modelling of Physical Transport Phenomena

Analysis and Modelling of Physical Transport Phenomena

K. Hanjalic, S. Kenjeres, M.J. Tummers and H.J.J. Jonker

These lecture notes contain the material of the course Advanced Physical

Transport Phenomena, offered in the Master's programme in Applied Physics

at Delft University of Technology. The book aims at providing graduate

students with an overview of analytical, numerical and modelling methods

for solving problems of heat and fluid flow, following a unified and

comparative approach.

The material is divided into four parts. Part I overviews the conservation

laws for mass, momentum and energy in differential forms and the relevant

constitutive relations. Part II covers analytical methods for solving

generic problems of heat, mass and momentum transfer, aimed at providing

insight into the physics, as well as to encourage students to master the

analytical tools for gaining a physical intuition by solving problems in

idealized situations. Part III introduces numerical methods for

computer-aided solutions of complex problems that are not tractable by

analytical approaches. It is, in fact, an introduction into computational

fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer (CFD, CHMT). Part IV deals with

turbulent convection. Basic notions on turbulence relevant to its

modelling are presented, followed by similarity and scaling analysis of

generic wall-bounded flows, the basics of turbulence modelling and an

overview of popular models, their physical rationale, interpretation and

limitations.
