Spring semester
Investigation of flows with PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) method. Internal waves formed inside stratified fluid. Baroclinal rotation instability, cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. Diffusion phenomena inside layered medium. Liquid -congested phase transition in computer networks, fundamental diagram measurement. Anomalous diffusion of internet traffic: self-affine beahviour, 1/f noise, long-term correlation, anomalous diffusion. Chaotic circuit based on the Chua circuit. Non-linear dynamics of water droplets. Phase space measurements of the double pendulum. Two-dimensional turbulence in quasi-two-dimensional layers.
The students carrie out only part of the measurements, based on the availability of the equipments and lecturers. Therefore it is not practical to give obligatory literature for everyone. The lecturers will hand out the necessary actual literature at the beginning of the semester.
