A new method for isolating turbulent states in transitional stratified plane Couette flow
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-10-26)
We present a new adaptive control strategy to isolate and stabilize turbulent states in transitional, stably stratified plane Couette flow in which the gravitational acceleration (non-dimensionalized as the bulk Richardson ...
Designing a more nonlinearly stable laminar flow via boundary manipulation
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013-12-04)
We show how a fully nonlinear variational method can be used to design a more nonlinearly stable laminar shear flow by quantifying the effect of manipulating the boundary conditions of the flow. Using the example of plane ...
