The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Lecture Series Presents a Seminar Dr. Eliezer Kit Professor (Emeritus)of Fluid Mechanics Tel Aviv University, Israel Coastal and Marine Engineering Research Institute Visiting Professor Notre Dame Tuesday, October 1 Rock Laboratory, 154 Fitzpatrick 11am-12noon ABSTRACT A combo (Sonic & 2 x-hot-films or 3D-multisensor probe) setup for atmospheric turbulence measurements The fine-scale structure of turbulence is a largely unexplored aspect of the atmospheric boundary layer since it eludes conventional probing techniques. The direct measurement of fine structure using high resolution instruments such as hot-film or hot-wire anemometers that can resolve smallest (dissipation) scales has been rare, given the intricacy of the instruments involved. In the talk, there is a recall to a feasibility study conducted by Kit et al. (2010) where a strikingly successful method, the Neural Network (NN) approach was suggested and applied Dr. Eliezer Kit Professor of Fluid Mechanics Chair Dept. Mechanical Engineering Tel Aviv University Visting Professor Notre Dame Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013 11:00 a.m.-12noon Rock Lab, 154 Fitzpatrick Hall BIOGRAPHY Dr. Kit earned his PhD from Institute of Physics, Latvian Academy of Science, Riga in 1971 in the field of magneto-hydrodynamics. He immigrated to Israel in 1973, and has worked since then for the Coastal and Marine Engineering Research Institute (CAMERI) affiliated with the Technion, Technical University of Israel in Haifa. In 1980 Dr. Kit joined the Department of Fluid Mechanics of Tel Aviv University and has been a Full Professor there since 1995, serving as the Department Head from 1998 until 2002. In 2005, Dr. Kit’s main research interests are in the fields of Experimental Fluid Mechanics (turbulence, stratified mixing layer, non-linear water waves) and Coastal Engineering. He has published over 90 papers in journals and more than 100 scientific reports. Dr. Kit is a frequent Senior Research Associate to Notre Dame.
