Stability and Transition: Theory and Application

Beschreibung

This book addresses transition from laminar to turbulent flows and considers solutions, mainly with the help of the linear stability theory and the ways in which it can be implemented accurately by numerical procedures. The main concern is transition of wall boundary layers, although one chapter is devoted to an approach based on the Navier-Stokes equations. The first three chapters summarize physical knowledge of the transition process, consider the stability equations and methods for predicting transition by linear stability theory, and describe efficient and accurate numerical methods for the solution of stability equations. Chapters 4 to 7 describe computer programs based on stability-theory approach to identify the location of transition in two- and three-dimensional incompressible and compressible flows, respectively, and Chapter 7 describes a computer program within the framework of parabolized stability equations.

From the reviews:"The book at hand addresses engineering calculation methods of predicting the onset of transition, the numerical implementation of these methods, and their application in typical flow situations. The focus is on transition of wall boundary layers. …… The book is recommended to engineers and numerical analysts working in the field of fluid mechanics." (Michael Niggemann, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 86 (12), 2006)"The main topic of this book is the en – method for the prediction of the onset of transition from laminar to turbulent flow in wall boundary layers. … In summary, the topic of this book is very specialized, and it will be useful … for experts in the en – method or for students studying this method." (John Volker, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2005 g)
