Subcritical turbulent transition in rotating and curved shear flows
P-Y. Longaretti, O. Dauchot
The effects of global flow rotation and curvature on the subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows are examined. The relevant time-scales of the problem are identified by…

Linear Stability and Subcritical Turbulence in Rotating Shear Flows
P. -Y. Longaretti
The relation between rotating plane Couette and Taylor-Couette flows is clarified. The identity of their linear stability limits is explained by considering the effect of the Corio…
