Experiments and numerical simulations have shown that turbulence in transitional wall- bounded shear flows frequently takes the form of long oblique bands if the domains are …
With decreasing Reynolds number, lower than the non-localised solutions. Relative periodic orbit solutions bifurcating from branches of travelling waves have also been computed. A …
Intermittent turbulent-laminar patterns characterize the transition to turbulence in pipe, plane Couette, and plane channel flows. The time evolution of turbulent-laminar bands in plane …
Many transitional shear flows show a regime of complex spatiotemporal dynamics that has been linked to directed percolation. Using direct numerical simulations of plane-Poiseuille …

In this paper we experimentally study the transitional range of Reynolds numbers in plane Couette–Poiseuille flow, focusing our attention on the localized turbulent structures triggered …
The transitional regime of plane channel flow is investigated above the transitional point below which turbulence is not sustained, using direct numerical simulation in large domains …
We numerically studied high-aspect-ratio channel flows with spanwise sidewalls, that is, wide duct flows, in its subcritical turbulent transitional regime. The infinite channel flow is …
Low Reynolds number turbulence in wall-bounded shear flows en route to laminar flow takes the form of spatially intermittent turbulent structures. In plane shear flows, these appear …
The effect of radius ratio on turbulent convective heat transfer within a concentric annular pipe has been studied using direct numerical simulation. Four radius ratios ( R i/R o= 0.1 …
