Görtler instability occurs due to the action of centrifugal forces in boundary layers over
curved surfaces, where it most commonly results in the generation of steady streamwise …

The turbulent boundary layer approaching a wall-mounted obstacle experiences a strong
adverse pressure gradient and undergoes three-dimensional separation leading to the …

In this paper the classical Rayleigh centrifugal instability theory is extended to general
inviscid two‐dimensional flows. Sufficient conditions for centrifugal instability are that the …

Görtler vortices are thought to be the cause of transition in many fluid flows of practical
importance. In this paper a review of the different stages of vortex growth is given. In the …

The receptivity problem for Görtler vortices induced by wall roughness is investigated. The
roughness is modelled by small amplitude perturbations to the curved wall over which the …

Görtler vortices (GVs) in dual-incident shock-wave/turbulent-boundary-layer interactions
(dual-ISWTBLIs) are experimentally investigated in a Mach 2.48 flow. A double-wedge …

The present study investigates numerically the thermo-hydraulic transport characteristics of
non-Newtonian fluids in corrugated channels. The power-law model is used to describe the …

Linear stability of Couette flow over a wavy wall is considered. It is shown that centrifugal
effects may create an instability that leads to the formation of streamwise vortices. The …

The laminar-to-turbulent transition process over a concave surface is studied using direct
numerical simulations (DNS). It is found that the flow passing over such surface is highly …

Linear stability of flow in a diverging–converging channel is considered. The flow may
develop under either the fixed mass or the fixed pressure gradient constraint. Both cases are …
