Transition in Wall-Bounded Shear Flows: The Role of Modern Stability Theory

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Instabilities are often the precursors of transition to turbulent fluid motion in wall-bounded shear flows. This review motivates and presents mathematical tools for detecting and quantifying instability mechanisms — of both modal and non-modal type — in shear flows. The role of these instabilities during the transition process is illustrated, and extensions of the tools to capture unsteady effects, spatially evolving flows and inhomogeneous coordinate directions are given.
