On Constructing the Minimal Seed of Turbulence: Nonlinear Transient Growth
Chris C. T. Pringle, Rich R. Kerswell
Linear transient growth analysis is commonly used to suggest the structure of disturbances which are particularly efficient in triggering transition to turbulence in shear flows. W…

Transient Growth in Shear Flows: Linearity vs Nonlinearity
Chris C. T. Pringle, Rich R. Kerswell
Two approaches to the problem of transition to turbulence of shear flows are popular in the literature. The first is the linear one of transient growth which focuses on the likely…
