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…
We utilize the externally forced linearized Navier-Stokes equations to study the receptivity of pre-transitional boundary layers to persistent sources of stochastic excitation. Stochastic forcing is used to model the effect of free-stream…
We extend linear input/output (resolvent) analysis to take into account nonlinear triadic interactions by considering a finite number of harmonics in the frequency domain using the harmonic balance method. Forcing mechanisms that maximize…
In this paper, we study the receptivity of non-modal perturbations in hypersonic boundary layers over a blunt wedge subject to freestream vortical, entropy and acoustic perturbations. Due to the absence of the Mack-mode instability and the…
The flow of the laminar boundary layer on a flat plate is studied with simulation of Navier-Stokes equations. The mechanisms of flow instability at external edge of the boundary layer and near the wall are analyzed using the energy gradient…
The transitional boundary layer flow over a flat plate is investigated. The boundary layer flow is known to develop unstable Tollmien-Schlichting waves above a critical value of the Reynolds number. However, it is also known that this…
We study the generation, nonlinear development and secondary instability of unsteady G\"ortler vortices and streaks in compressible boundary layers exposed to free-stream vortical disturbances and evolving over concave, flat and convex…
We examine the efficacy of streamwise traveling waves generated by a zero-net-mass-flux surface blowing and suction for controlling the onset of turbulence in a channel flow. For small amplitude actuation, we utilize weakly nonlinear…
The temporal modal and nonmodal growth of three-dimensional perturbations in the boundary-layer flow over an infinite compliant flat wall is considered. Using a wall-normal velocity/wall-normal vorticity formalism, the dynamic boundary…
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…
Understanding the receptivity of hypersonic flows to free-stream disturbances is crucial for predicting laminar to turbulent boundary layer transition. Input-output analysis as a receptivity tool considers which free-stream disturbances…
The stability and transition in the bottom boundary layer under a solitary wave are analysed in the presence of finite amplitude disturbances. First, the receptivity of the boundary layer is investigated using a linear input-output…
The quadratic convection term in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is considered as a non-linear forcing to the linear operator, and it is studied in the Fourier domain through the analysis of interactions between triadically…
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…
In the context of transition analysis, linear input-output analysis determines worst-case disturbances to a laminar base flow based on a generic right-hand-side volumetric/boundary forcing term. The worst-case forcing is not physically…
Wall-bounded turbulent shear flows are known to exhibit universal small-scale dynamics that are modulated by large-scale flow structures. Strong pressure gradients complicate this characterization, however; they can cause significant…
Different transition to turbulence routes for the flow around blunt bodies are possible. Non-modal amplification of perturbations via the lift-up effect has recently been explored to explain transition near the stagnation point in…
It is a classical problem in fluid dynamics about the stability and instability of different hydrodynamic patterns in various physical settings, in particular in the high Reynolds number limit of laminar flow with boundary layer. However,…
Despite the nonlinear nature of wall turbulence, there is evidence that the energy-injection mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence can be ascribed to linear processes. The different scenarios stem from linear stability theory and comprise…
Supersonic pre-transitional boundary layers flowing over porous flat and concave surfaces are studied using numerical and asymptotic methods. The porous wall is composed of thin equally-spaced cylindrical microcavities. The flow is…
