This study concerns a turbulent jet at Mach number $M_j=0.9$, subject to a uniform external flow stream at $M_f=0.15$. We assess the mechanisms that underpin the reduction in fluctuation energy that is known to occur when a jet is…

The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is well known to be capable of converting well-ordered flows into more disordered, even turbulent, flows. As such it could represent a path by which the energy in, for example, bowshocks from stellar jets…

Transonic buffet is commonly associated with self-sustained flow unsteadiness involving shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction over aerofoils and wings. The phenomenon has been classified as either laminar or turbulent based on the state of…
