We apply the iterated edge state tracking algorithm to study the boundary between laminar and turbulent dynamics in plane Couette flow at Re=400. Perturbations that are not strong enough to become fully turbulent nor weak enough to…
A suite of numerical model-derived turbulence assessment products has recently been developed by NESDIS/STAR and implemented on the World Wide Web. The existing product suite is intended to provide turbulence information to aircraft flying…
Penetration process and an instability on a liquid jet impinging to a stream of the same fluid in a channel is focused. The jet penetrated into the stream is wrapped by entrained air, and coalesces with the stream when the air sheath around…
The laminar-turbulent boundary S is the set separating initial conditions which relaminarise uneventfully from those which become turbulent. Phase space trajectories on this hypersurface in cylindrical pipe flow look to be chaotic and show…
We report on the shape taken by the interface of a liquid bath when hit by a smooth oblique steady jet. When the angle between the jet and the bath decreases below $50^\circ$, a cavity is formed in front of the jet. In the inertial regime…
The flow within an oscillatory boundary layer, which approximates the flow generated by propagating sea waves of small amplitude close to the bottom, is simulated numerically by integrating Navier-Stokes and continuity equations. The bottom…
Two direct numerical simulation (DNS) databases are investigated to understand the effect of the outer-layer turbulence on the inner layer's structures and energy transfer mechanisms. The first DNS database is the non-equilibrium…

The interplay between viscoelasticity and inertia in dilute polymer solutions at high deformation rates can result in inertio-elastic instabilities. The nonlinear evolution of these instabilities generates a state of turbulence with…
The transition to turbulence in many shear flows proceeds along two competing routes, one linked with finite-amplitude disturbances and the other one originating from a linear instability, as in e.g. boundary layer flows. The dynamical…

Turbulent flows beneath a free surface play a central role in the Earth system, yet their coupling to observable surface features remains incompletely understood. Recent studies using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have reported strong…
The mechanisms governing the transition to turbulence in natural convection boundary layers along strongly heated vertical walls remain neither very clear nor well understood, because of the lack of experiments and the difficulties of…
The no-slip boundary condition results in a velocity shear forming in fluid flow near a solid surface. This shear flow supports the turbulence characteristic of fluid flow near boundaries at Reynolds numbers above $\approx1000$ by making…
