Contents:
chapter 1 Introduction to Instability and Transition -- chapter 2 Computing Transitional and Turbulent Flows -- chapter 3 Instability and Transition in Flows -- chapter 4 Bypass Transition: Theory, Computations, and Experiments -- chapter 5 Spatio-Temporal Wave Front and Transition -- chapter 6 Nonlinear Effects: Multiple Hopf Bifurcations and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition -- chapter 7 Stability and Transition of Mixed Convection Flows -- chapter 8 Instabilities of Three-Dimensional Flows -- chapter 9 Analysis and Design of Natural Laminar Flow Airfoils -- chapter 10 Epilogue -- chapter 11 Selected Problems.
Abstract: Addressing classical material as well as new perspectives, Instabilities of Flows and Transition to Turbulence presents a concise, up-to-date treatment of theory and applications of viscous flow instability. It covers materials from classical instability to contemporary research areas including bluff body flow instability, mixed convection flows, and application areas of aerospace and other branches of engineering. Transforms and perturbation techniques are used to link linear instability with receptivity of flows, as developed by the author.
