11. Experiments on oblique transition in wall bounded shear flows
Sammanfattning : This thesis considers laminar-turbulent transition in wall bounded shear flows, with a focus on transition emanating from a pair of oblique disturbance waves. The oblique waves interact nonlinearly and transfers disturbance energy into streamwise vortices, which generate streamwise streaks through a linear mechanism that operates also at conditions where stability theory predicts decay of all eigenmodes.

12. Stability analysis and control design of spatially developing flows
Sammanfattning : Methods in hydrodynamic stability, systems and control theory are applied to spatially developing flows, where the flow is not required to vary slowly in the streamwise direction. A substantial part of the thesis presents a theoretical framework for the stability analysis, input-output behavior, model reduction and control design for fluid dynamical systems using examples on the linear complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.

13. Experimental studies of bypass transition and its control
Sammanfattning : Bypass transition, i.e. transition of a boundary layer at subcritical Reynolds numbers, has been studied. Fundamental studies of the phenomenon as such have been performed side by side with experiments aimed at controlling, i. LÄS MER
14. Oblique waves in boundary layer transition
Sammanfattning : Traditional research on laminar-turbulent transition has focused on scenarios that are caused by the exponential growth of eigensolutions to the linearized disturbance equations, e.g. two-dimensional Tollmien-Schlichting waves. LÄS MER
15. Optimisation and control of boundary layer flows
Sammanfattning : Both optimal disturbances and optimal control are studied by means of numerical simulations for the case of the flat-plate boundary-layer flow. The optimisation method is the Lagrange multiplier technique where the objective function is the kinetic energy of the flow perturbations and the constraints involve the linearised Navier–Stokes equations.
