The increase in wall-pressure fluctuations with increasing friction Reynolds number ($Re_{\tau}$) of a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) is well known in the literature. However, very few studies have investigated the $Re_{\tau}$-variation of…

We present an asymptotic theory for analytical characterization of the high-Reynolds-number incompressible flow of a Newtonian fluid past a shear-free circular cylinder. The viscosity-induced modifications to this flow are localized and…
Modeling of wall-bounded turbulent flows is still an open problem in classical physics, with only modest progress made in the last few decades beyond the so-called `log law', which describes only the intermediate region in wall-bounded…
Recent work demonstrated that alternative models to the "no-slip" boundary condition for incipient flow perturbations can produce linear instabilities that do not arise in the classical formulation. The present study introduces a Robin-type…

Wall-pressure fluctuations are a practically robust input for real-time control systems aimed at modifying wall-bounded turbulence. The scaling behaviour of the wall-pressure--velocity coupling requires investigation to properly design a…
The precise set of parameters governing the transition to turbulence in wall-bounded shear flows remains an open question; many theoretical bounds have been obtained, but there is not yet a consensus between these bounds and…
