Ruth A Byrne, PhD; Medical University of Vienna, Austria.

For the last ten years, Dr. Byrne has studied cephalopods at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, universities in the USA and Israel, and beneath the pristine waters of the Caribbean. She first investigated behavioral lateralization and arm use in the Common Octopus, and subsequently the complex body pattern communication system of the Caribbean Reef Squid. Most recently, she has been working on human cell biology.

(Title) Boundary layer transition beneath free-stream turbulence: Linear precursors of nonlinear breakdown

Abstract: The manner in which infinitesimal disturbances can cause organized fluid motion to become chaotic is an intriguing phenomenon. In addition to being of great theoretical interest, laminar-to-turbulence transition is of significant engineering importance due to its role in heat transfer, its influence on momentum mixing, and its effect on drag. In this work, we present complementary theoretical analysis and high-fidelity direct numerical simulations of transition to turbulence in boundary layers. The...
