"Boundary layer transition beneath free-stream turbulence:Linear precursors of nonlinear breakdown" by Prof. Tamer A. Zaki
Date : June 10 th , 2016 (Fri)
Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm
Venue: D015 (Lab 1, Level D)
Speaker: Prof. Tamer A. Zaki (Johns Hopkins University)
(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...
