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 …

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 …

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 …

This experimental study is devoted to the description of the different patterns resulting from
instabilities which appear in the flow between a rotating and a stationary disk enclosed by a …

Different instabilities of the boundary layer flows that appear in the cavity between stationary
and rotating discs are investigated using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations …

This book is a complete revision of the part of Monin & Yaglom's famous two-volume work"
Statistical Fluid Mechanics: Mechanics of Turbulence" that deals with the theory of laminar …

Elongated streamwise structures are considered as a key element of the transition to
turbulence in various wall flows. In pure plane Couette flow (pCf), longitudinal streaks …

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 …

Nonlinear three-dimensional time-dependent solution branches are obtained in plane
Couette flow modified by plane Poiseuille flow component. It is found that as the Poiseuille …

Plane Couette flow perturbed by a spanwise oriented ribbon, similar to a configuration
investigated experimentally at the Centre d'Etudes de Saclay, is investigated numerically …
