Transient growth mechanisms operating on streaky shear flows are believed important for sustaining near-wall turbulence. Of the three individual mechanisms present - Orr, lift-up and 'push over' - Lozano-Duran et. al. (J. Fluid Mech. 914,…
We utilize resolvent and weakly nonlinear analyses in combination with direct numerical simulations (DNS) to identify mechanisms for oblique transition in a Mach 5 hypersonic flow over an adiabatic slender double-wedge. Even though the…
We develop a perturbation-based frequency-response framework for analyzing amplification mechanisms that are central to subcritical routes to transition in wall-bounded shear flows. By systematically expanding the input-output dynamics of…
The present numerical investigation uses well-resolved large-eddy simulations to study the low-frequency unsteady motions observed in shock-wave/turbulent-boundary-layer interactions. Details about the numerical aspects of the simulations…
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…
The effects of entropic-instabilities on the laminar-turbulent transition dynamics of a blunted flat plate at Mach~$4$ are numerically investigated through linear and nonlinear approaches. Linear wavepacket analysis reveals amplifying…
This study investigates the minimal seed for laminar-to-turbulent transition in a supersonic boundary layer at $M=3.0$ and $Re=300$ using adjoint-based nonlinear non-modal analysis. While linear theory identifies oblique waves as the…
We investigate flow instability created by an oblique shock wave impinging on a Mach 5.92 laminar boundary layer at a transitional Reynolds number. The adverse pressure gradient of the oblique shock causes the boundary layer to separate…
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…
One of the simplest problems involving external vorticity in boundary layer flows is the flow over a semi-infinite plate under a stream of uniform shear. We study the transient growth phenomenon in this flow to investigate the role of…
We numerically examine the mechanisms that describe the shock-boundary layer interactions in transonic flow past an oscillating wing section. At moderate and high angles of incidence but low amplitudes of oscillation, shock induced flow…
In the region close to the thermodynamic critical point and in the proximity of the pseudo-boiling (Widom) line, strong property variations substantially alter the growth of modal instabilities, as revealed in Ren et al. (J. Fluid Mech.,…
The three-dimensional temporal instability of rotating boundary layer flows is investigated by computing classical normal modes as well as by evaluating the transient growth of optimal disturbances. The flows examined are the rotating…
The dynamics of a shock wave impinging on a transitional high-enthalpy boundary layer out of thermochemical equilibrium is investigated for the first time by means of a direct numerical simulation. The freestream Mach number is equal to 9…
We perform direct numerical simulations of shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions (SBLI) at Mach number M = 1.7 to investigate the influence of the state of the incoming boundary layer on the interaction properties. We reproduce and extend…
Extensive studies have investigated the transition mechanism of boundary layers initiated by a single primary instability. In a real-world scenario, however, multiple primary instabilities of different physical nature would coexist and…
Spatial optimal responses to both inlet disturbances and harmonic external forcing for hypersonic flows over a blunt cone at nonzero angles of attack are obtained by efficiently solving the direct-adjoint equations with a parabolic…
The mechanisms governing the low-frequency unsteadiness in the shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction at Mach 2 are considered. The investigation is conducted based on the numerical database issued from large-eddy simulations…
A high-fidelity simulation of the shock/transitional boundary layer interaction caused by a 15-degrees axisymmetrical compression ramp is performed at a freestream Mach number of 5 and a transitional Reynolds number. The inlet of the…
Laminar shear flows can display large non-modal perturbation growth, often through the lift-up mechansm, and can undergo subcritical transition to turbulence. The process is three-dimensional. Two-dimensional (2D) spanwise-independent…
