(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...

Majority of OIST researchers would like to develop and pursue successful careers in academia. This month, we will have two informal sessions focusing on the following two themes and exploring how they relate to this commonly shared aspiration. 1. Why do you keep applying for grants? (and what will happen if you do not?) 2. What are your goals?
