The Transition and Dynamics of Bounded and Free Shear Layers.

Abstract

Research activities in transitional and turbulent boundary layers and free shear flows are described. Experimental efforts which focused on an understanding of turbulent 'spots' in a developing laminar boundary layer flow, the development of conditional sampling technique for high response anemometry data, studies of spanwise streaks in the near wall region of a turbulent boundary layer and the dynamics of free and impinging jet flows are described. Analytical studies of the nonlinear stability of plane stagnation flows are also discussed.
