Minimal seeds in the Stokes boundary layer
Tom Eaves
Minimal seeds are the smallest amplitude perturbations that trigger transition to turbulence in a subcritical flow. They are presented in the Stokes boundary layer, the oscillating…
Optimizing the control of transition to turbulence using a Bayesian method
Anton Pershin, Cedric Beaume, Tom S. Eaves +1
The nonlinear robustness of laminar plane Couette flow is considered under the action of in-phase spanwise wall oscillations by computing properties of the edge of chaos, i.e., the…
Stably stratified exact coherent structures in shear flow: the effect of Prandtl number
Jake Langham, Tom S. Eaves, Rich R. Kerswell
We examine how known unstable equilibria of the Navier-Stokes equations in plane Couette flow adapt to the presence of an imposed stable density difference between the two boundari…
Disruption of SSP/VWI states by a stable stratification
T. S. Eaves, C. P. Caulfield
We identify `minimal seeds' for turbulence, i.e. initial conditions of the smallest possible total perturbation energy density that trigger turbulence from the laminar state,…
Liquid ropes: a geometrical model for thin viscous jets instabilities
P. -T. Brun, Basile Audoly, Neil M. Ribe +2
Thin viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitch-like patterns including meanders…
