Patterns in wall-bounded shear flows

LS Tuckerman, M Chantry… - Annual Review of Fluid …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Experiments and numerical simulations have shown that turbulence in transitional wall-
bounded shear flows frequently takes the form of long oblique bands if the domains are …

Spatially localized structures in dissipative systems: open problems

E Knobloch - Nonlinearity, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Stationary spatially localized structures, sometimes called dissipative solitons, arise in many
interesting and important applications, including buckling of slender structures under …

Theoretical perspective on the route to turbulence in a pipe

D Barkley - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - cambridge.org
The route to turbulence in pipe flow is a complex, nonlinear, spatiotemporal process for
which an increasingly clear understanding has emerged in recent years. This paper …

Turbulent thermal superstructures in Rayleigh-Bénard convection

RJAM Stevens, A Blass, X Zhu, R Verzicco, D Lohse - Physical review fluids, 2018 - APS
We report the observation of superstructures, ie, very large-scale and long living coherent
structures in highly turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection up to Rayleigh Ra= 10 9. We …

Formation of turbulent patterns near the onset of transition in plane Couette flow

Y Duguet, P Schlatter, DS Henningson - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 - cambridge.org
The formation of turbulent patterns in plane Couette flow is investigated near the onset of
transition, using numerical simulation in a very large domain of size 800 h× 2 h× 356 h …

Extreme-scale motions in turbulent plane Couette flows

M Lee, RD Moser - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018 - cambridge.org
We study the large-scale motions in turbulent plane Couette flows at moderate friction
Reynolds number up to length of the domain. The presence of these very long structures is …

Oblique laminar-turbulent interfaces in plane shear flows

Y Duguet, P Schlatter - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
Localized structures such as turbulent stripes and turbulent spots are typical features of
transitional wall-bounded flows in the subcritical regime. Based on an assumption for scale …

Laminar-turbulent transition in magnetohydrodynamic duct, pipe, and channel flows

O Zikanov, D Krasnov, T Boeck… - Applied …, 2014 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
A magnetic field imposed on a flow of an electrically conducting fluid can profoundly change
flow behavior. We consider this effect for the situation of laminar-turbulent transition in …

Distinct large-scale turbulent-laminar states in transitional pipe flow

D Moxey, D Barkley - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
When fluid flows through a channel, pipe, or duct, there are two basic forms of motion:
smooth laminar motion and complex turbulent motion. The discontinuous transition between …

Bifurcations to turbulence in transitional channel flow

M Shimizu, P Manneville - Physical Review Fluids, 2019 - APS
In wall-bounded parallel flows, sustained turbulence can occur even while laminar flow is
still stable. Channel flow is one of such flows and displays spatiotemporal fluctuating …
