Subcritical transition to turbulence in plane Couette flow.
Various experiments have outlined generic properties of the subcritical transition to turbulence in plane Couette flow. A low order model of a self-sustaining process has been derived by Waleffe [11] from the Navier-Stokes equations for a sinusoidal shear flow. This paper investigates the weakly non-linear properties and the phase space analysis of this model, including the dependence on the mo...
متن کاملThe dynamics of transition to turbulence in plane Couette flow
In plane Couette flow, the incompressible fluid between two plane parallel walls is driven by the motion of those walls. The laminar solution, in which the streamwise velocity varies linearly in the wall-normal direction, is known to be linearly stable at all Reynolds numbers (Re). Yet, in both experiments and computations, turbulence is observed for Re & 360. In this article, we show that when...
متن کاملModeling the Transition to Turbulence in Plane Couette Flow
Numerical simulations of a model of plane Couette flow focusing on its in-plane spatio-temporal properties are used to study the dynamics of turbulent spots. While the core of a spot is filled with small scale velocity fluctuations, a large scale flow extending far away and occupying the full gap between the driving plates is revealed upon filtering out small scales. It is characterized by stre...
متن کاملExperimental scaling law for the subcritical transition to turbulence in plane Poiseuille flow.
We present an experimental study of the transition to turbulence in a plane Poiseuille flow. Using a well-controlled perturbation, we analyze the flow by using extensive particle image velocimetry and flow visualization (using laser-induced fluorescence) measurements, and use the deformation of the mean velocity profile as a criterion to characterize the state of the flow. From a large parametr...
متن کاملOn self-sustaining processes in Rayleigh-stable rotating plane Couette flows and subcritical transition to turbulence in accretion disks
Context. Subcritical transition to turbulence in Keplerian accretion disks is still a controversial issue and some theoretical progress is required in order to determine whether or not this scenario provides a plausible explanation for the origin of angular momentum transport in non-magnetized accretion disks. Aims. Motivated by the recent discoveries of exact nonlinear steady self-sustaining s...
