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…

On the relevance of subcritical hydrodynamic turbulence to accretion disk transport
G. Lesur, P-Y. Longaretti
Hydrodynamic unstratified keplerian flows are known to be linearly stable at all Reynolds numbers, but may nevertheless become turbulent through nonlinear mechanisms. However, in t…
