Understanding Turbulence: Course Overview

This lecture provides an overview of the turbulence course, focusing on the theoretical approach to the subject, project exercises, and its relevance for EPFL GM Master students specializing in fluids. The course emphasizes logic over practical tools, with a physics-like style and a mini turbulence research project. Student feedback highlights the time commitment required for the project and the mixed opinions regarding the course's mandatory nature for fluids specialization. The lecture also touches upon the idea of specialization, its impact on degrees, capabilities, and career prospects.
