On boundary conditions for incompressible Navier-Stokes problems

D Rempfer - 2006 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
We revisit the issue of finding proper boundary conditions for the field equations describing

Transition in pipe flow: the saddle structure on the boundary of turbulence

Y Duguet, AP Willis, RR Kerswell - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2008 - cambridge.org
The laminar–turbulent boundary Σ is the set separating initial conditions which relaminarize
uneventfully from those which become turbulent. Phase space trajectories on this …
