Free-stream turbulence (FST) is perhaps the most important source inducing by-pass
transition in boundary layer flows. The present study describes the initial energy growth of …

A number of well-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) of a spatially evolving turbulent
boundary layer with uniform blowing or suction is performed in order to investigate the effect …

In this study we characterize the turbulence, by means of energy spectra, characteristic
turbulence length scales, energy dissipation, kinetic energy decay rate etc., behind a set of …

Free-stream turbulence (FST) and its effect on boundary-layer transition is an intricate
problem. Elongated unsteady streamwise streaks of low and high speed are created inside …

Small-amplitude perturbations are governed by the linearized Navier–Stokes equations,
which are, for a parallel or nearly parallel shear flow, customarily reduced to the Orr …

Our concern in this paper is with high-Reynolds-number nonlinear equilibrium solutions of
the Navier–Stokes equations for boundary-layer flows. Here we consider the asymptotic …

The concept of edge states is investigated in the asymptotic suction boundary layer in
relation to the receptivity process to noisy perturbations and the nucleation of turbulent …

The effect of a constant homogeneous wall suction on the nonlinear transient growth of
localized finite amplitude perturbations in a boundary-layer flow is investigated. Using a …

The present wind-tunnel experiment demonstrates that a reactive control system is able to
decrease the amplitude of random disturbances in a flat-plate boundary layer. The …

The generation, nonlinear evolution, and wall-transpiration control of unsteady Görtler
vortices in an incompressible boundary layer over a concave plate is studied theoretically …
