This work considers the transition to unsteadiness in the wake of 2D slender bodies, and questions the relevance of the generally accepted scenario involving a region of absolute instability within the near wake. The case of a thin plate at…
We consider the linearized and nonlinear stationary incompressible flow around rotating and translating body in the exterior domain B with Lipschitz boundary. We derive the pointwise estimates for the pressure in both cases. Moreover, we…

We analyse and compare various empirical models of wall pressure spectra beneath turbulent boundary layers and propose an alternative machine learning approach using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The analysis and the training of the ANN…
The present paper deals with the wave propagation in a particular two dimensional structure, obtained from a localized perturbation of a reference periodic medium. This reference medium is a ladder like domain, namely a thin periodic…
Direct numerical simulations are conducted to study the receptivity and transition mechanisms in a solitary wave boundary layer developing over randomly organized wave-like bottom topography. The boundary layer flow shows a selective…
Real physical systems are only understood, experimentally or theoretically, to a finite resolution so in their analysis there is generally an ignorance of possible short-range phenomena. It is also well-known that the boundary conditions of…
Rotating shear flows, when angular momentum increases and angular velocity decreases as functions of radiation coordinate, are hydrodynamically stable under linear perturbation. The Keplerian flow is an example of such systems which appears…
The propagation of internal gravity waves in stratified media, such as those found in ocean basins and lakes, leads to the development of geometrical patterns called "attractors". These structures accumulate much of the wave energy and make…

We revisit the problem of spurious modes that are sometimes encountered in partial differential equations discretizations. It is generally suspected that one of the causes for spurious modes is due to how boundary conditions are treated,…
We investigate the broadband turbulent dynamics of attached and separated flows over a Gaussian bump, focusing on the origin of low-frequency coherent structures. The analysis combines time-resolved experimental measurements with…
We study of the formation of pattern-forming fronts in the presence of a rigidly-propagating parameter ramp which is slowly-varying in space. In the context of the prototypical supercritical complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, we show that…
A common approach for the numerical simulation of wave propagation on a spatially unbounded domain is to truncate the domain via an artificial boundary, thus forming a finite computational domain with an outer boundary. Absorbing boundary…
Adaptive control is applied to a supersonic dual-stream jet flow comprised of Mach 1.6 core and Mach 1.0 bypass streams that mix to form a supersonic shear layer. The vortices shed are the source of a high-frequency tone that persists…
Experiments have shown that micron-sized distributed surface roughness can significantly promote transition in a three-dimensional boundary layer dominated by crossflow insta- bility. This sensitive effect has not yet been fully explained…
The equations governing atmospheric flows are nonlinear. Consequently, the hierarchy of cumulant equations is not closed. But because atmospheric flows are inhomogeneous and anisotropic, the nonlinearity may manifest itself only weakly…
Large-eddy simulations of a flat-plate boundary layer, without a leading edge, subject to multiple levels of incoming free stream turbulence are considered in the present work. Within an input-output model where non-linear terms of the…
