An optimisation approach for analysing nonlinear stability with transition to turbulence in fluids as an exemplar
R. R. Kerswell, C. C. T. Pringle, A. P. Willis
This article introduces, and reviews recent work using, a simple optimisation technique for analysing the nonlinear stability of a state in a dynamical system. The technique can be…

Fully localised nonlinear energy growth optimals in pipe flow
Chris C. T. Pringle, Ashley P. Willis, Rich R. Kerswell
A new, fully-localised, energy growth optimal is found over large times and in long pipe domains at a given mass flow rate. This optimal emerges at a threshold disturbance energy b…
