Non-modal transient growth of disturbances in pulsatile and oscillatory pipe flows

D Xu, B Song, M Avila - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
Laminar flows through pipes driven at steady, pulsatile or oscillatory rates undergo a
subcritical transition to turbulence. We carry out an extensive linear non-modal stability …

Nonlinear Asymptotic Stability and Transition Threshold for 2D Taylor–Couette Flows in Sobolev Spaces

X An, T He, T Li - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2024 - Springer
In this paper, we investigate the stability of the 2-dimensional (2D) Taylor–Couette (TC) flow
