This Review summarizes the progress in research on the flow structure and aerodynamic
characteristics of an airfoil at a low Reynolds number encountered by near-space low-speed …

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 …

Experiments were conducted to study the transition and flow development in a laminar
separation bubble (LSB) formed on an aerofoil. The effects of a wide range of free-stream …

Responses of a geometry-induced separation bubble (GISB) and a pressure-induced
separation bubble (PISB) at enhanced levels of free-stream turbulence (FST) have …

The interaction of several instabilities and the influence of free-stream turbulence on laminar-
turbulent transition on a 20% thick wind-turbine blade section with a laminar separation …

Boundary layer instabilities and shock–boundary-layer interactions (SBLIs) critically affect
the performance and safe operation of mixed-compression air intakes. We present a …

This work studies the link between the bursting process of a flat plate laminar separation
bubble and the modification of the stability characteristics of the separated shear layer due …

Wall-resolved large eddy simulations of the flow on a rotating wind turbine blade section are
conducted to study the rotation effects on laminar-turbulent transition on the suction surface …

Resolvent analysis of the linearized Navier–Stokes equations provides useful insight into
the dynamics of transitional and turbulent flows and can provide a model for the dominant …

Following force balance and acoustic measurements in an anechoic chamber, we have
shown that promoting earlier boundary layer transition on an idealised low Reynolds …
