Helical modes in boundary layer transition
Observations are presented to show that in an adverse pressure gradient boundary layer, beneath free-stream turbulence, the interaction between Klebanoff streaks and naturally arising instability waves leads to helical disturbances which break down to form turbulent spots. This occurs under low to moderate levels, 1%–2%, of free-stream turbulence. At high levels of free-stream turbulence, conve...
متن کاملDelaying transition in rotating boundary-layer flows
We investigate both the type I and II modes of stationary instability within the boundarylayer flow over a rotating disk. Extending the work of previous studies we find that the flow can be stabilised via the introduction of shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids. Laminar-flow profiles are determined from a generalised von Kármán similarity solution. An asymptotic study is presented in the limit o...
متن کاملViscous Boundary-Layer Damping of r-Modes in Neutron Stars.
Recent work has raised the exciting possibility that r-modes (Rossby waves) in rotating neutron star cores might be strong gravitational-wave sources. We estimate the effect of a solid crust on their viscous damping rate and show that the dissipation rate in the viscous boundary layer between the oscillating fluid and the nearly static crust is more than 105 times higher than that from the shea...
متن کاملEffects of long-wavelength Klebanoff modes on boundary-layer instability
It is known that low-frequency components of three-dimensional vortical disturbances in the free stream can be entrained into the boundary layer due to the nonparallel flow effect, producing significant distortion in the form of alternate thickening and thinning of the layer in the spanwise direction. This observation goes back to Dryden (1936) and Taylor (1939) who, in fact, suggested that the...
متن کاملBuckling transition and boundary layer in non-Euclidean plates.
Non-Euclidean plates are thin elastic bodies having no stress-free configuration, hence exhibiting residual stresses in the absence of external constraints. These bodies are endowed with a three-dimensional reference metric, which may not necessarily be immersible in physical space. Here, based on a recently developed theory for such bodies, we characterize the transition from flat to buckled e...
