Collapses of linearly decaying three-dimensional perturbations in homogeneous and weakly stratified boundary layers (2020)
Thesis
Oloo, J. Collapses of linearly decaying three-dimensional perturbations in homogeneous and weakly stratified boundary layers. (Thesis)

The physical mechanisms of why an orderly laminar flow suddenly becomes turbulent are still poorly understood, despite more than a century of incessant efforts. The thesis puts forward a radically new approach to understanding the fundamental challen...

We study the nonlinear dynamics of localized perturbations of a confined generic boundary-layer shear flow in the framework of the essentially two-dimensional generalization of the intermediate long-wave (2d-ILW) equation. The 2d-ILW equation was ori... Read More about Boundary layer collapses described by the two-dimensional intermediate long-wave equation.
