Turbulence is everywhere in the interiors and atmospheres of planets and stars, galaxies, biological systems including human body, engineering flows, etc. In this course, we will cover fundamental aspects of turbulence: Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence in spectral and real space; Two-dimensional turbulence; Energy transfers; Enstrophy and kinetic helicity cascades; more complex applications, such as passive scalar, Turbulent thermal convection, and Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
