The most recent efforts on the stability and transition of three-dimensional flows are reviewed. These include flows over swept wings, rotating disks, and ...
The recent progress in three-dimensional boundary-layer stability and transition is reviewed. The material focuses on the crossflow instability that leads ...
Passive removal of suction air for producing a laminar flow, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. One such method includes forming a laminar flow region over an external surface of an aircraft by drawing air through the exte...
The formation of stationary cross flow vortices in a three-dimensional boundary layer due to surface roughness located near the leading edge of a swept win...
The receptivity theory of Goldstein and Ruban is extended within the nonasymptotic (quasi-parallel) framework of Zavol'skii et al. to predict the roughness-induced generation of stationary and nonstationary instability waves in three-di...
The paper presents a review of results of some recent (mainly experimental) studies devoted to a quantitative investigation of the problem of receptivity o...
For transition to turbulence in crossflow-dominated swept-wing boundary layers, details of the strongly nonlinear nature of the stationary primary instability are well understood both experimentally and theoretically. It is the particula...
The receptivity to localized surface roughness of a swept-wing boundary layer is studied by direct numerical simulation (DNS) and computations using the pa...
The receptivity of the boundary-layer flows to external perturbations represents a very important aspect of the laminar-turbulent transition problem and ha...
Understanding the origins of turbulent flow and transition from laminar to turbulent flow is still an important challenge of fluid mechanics. The common thread connecting aerodynamic applications is the fact that they deal with bounded s...
