Optimal transitional mechanisms are analysed for an incompressible shear layer developing over a short, pressure gradient-induced laminar separation bubble (LSB) with peak reversed flow of 2%. Although the bubble remains globally stable,…
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…
Laminar-to-turbulence transition in zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer at Mach 4.5 is studied using direct numerical simulations. For a given level of total disturbance energy, the inflow spectra was designed to correspond to the…
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…
Resolvent analysis is used to study the low-frequency behaviour of the laminar oblique shock wave / boundary layer interaction (SWBLI). It is shown that the computed optimal gain, which can be seen as a transfer function of the system,…
The self-excited spanwise homogeneous perturbations arising in shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction (SWBLI) system formed in a hypersonic flow of molecular nitrogen over a double wedge are investigated using the kinetic Direct Simulation…
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…
The influence of surface roughness on transition to turbulence in a Mach 4.5 boundary layer is studied using direct numerical simulations. Transition is initiated by the nonlinearly most dangerous inflow disturbance, which causes the…
The low-frequency unsteady motions behind a backward-facing step (BFS) in a turbulent flow at $Ma=1.7$ and $Re_\infty=1.3718\times 10^5$ is investigated using a well-resolved large-eddy simulation (LES). The instantaneous flow field…
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…
Linear and nonlinear energy optimizations in a tilted domain are used to unveil the main mechanisms allowing the creation of a turbulent band in a channel flow. Linear optimization predicts an optimal growth for streamwse and spanwise…
This paper is concerned with the transition of the laminar flow in a duct of square cross-section. Like in the similar case of the pipe flow, the motion is linearly stable for all Reynolds numbers, rendering this flow a suitable candidate…
Turbulence modeling has the potential to revolutionize high-speed vehicle design by serving as a co-equal partner to costly and challenging ground and flight testing. However, the fundamental assumptions that make turbulence modeling such…
The laminar-to-turbulent transition remains a fundamental and enduring challenge in fluid mechanics. Its complexity arises from the intrinsic nonlinearity and extreme sensitivity to external disturbances. This transition is critical in 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…
The nonlinear mechanism in the self-sustaining process (SSP) of wall-bounded turbulence is investigated. Resolvent analysis is used to identify the principal forcing mode which produces the maximum amplification of the velocities in…
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…
This work is a numerical study of a transitional shock wave boundary layer interaction (SWBLI). The main goal is to improve our understanding of the well known low-frequency SWBLI unsteadiness and especially the suspected role of triadic…
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…
In many plasma systems, introducing a small background shear flow is enough to stabilize the system linearly. The nonlinear dynamics are much less sensitive to sheared flows than the average linear growthrates, and very small amplitude…
