Electrostatic trapping as a key to the dynamics of plasmas, fluids and other collective systems

A Luque, H Schamel - Physics reports, 2005 - Elsevier
This review article focusses on the phenomenon of collective particle trapping in dilute
plasmas and related fluid-like systems. A coherent electrostatic wave or fluctuation, being …

Statistical analysis of the transition to turbulence in plane Couette flow

S Bottin, H Chaté - The European Physical Journal B-Condensed Matter …, 1998 - Springer
We argue on general grounds that the transition to turbulence in plane Couette flow is best
studied experimentally at a statistical level. We present such a statistical analysis of …

Tertiary and quaternary solutions for plane Couette flow

RM Clever, FH Busse - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1997 - cambridge.org
The plane Couette system does not exhibit any secondary solutions bifurcating from the
primary solution of constant shear. Since the work of Nagata (1990) it has been well known …

Experimental evidence of streamwise vortices as finite amplitude solutions in transitional plane Couette flow

S Bottin, O Dauchot, F Daviaud, P Manneville - Physics of Fluids, 1998 - pubs.aip.org

turbulence in various wall flows. In pure plane Couette flow (pCf), longitudinal streaks …

Centrifugal instability of Couette flow over a wavy wall

JM Floryan - Physics of fluids, 2002 - pubs.aip.org
Linear stability of Couette flow over a wavy wall is considered. It is shown that centrifugal
effects may create an instability that leads to the formation of streamwise vortices. The …

Three-dimensional traveling-wave solutions in plane Couette flow
