The size and behavior of laminar separation bubbles is strongly related to the laminar-to-turbulent transition process that takes place downstream of the separation of the laminar boundary layer. Wind-tunnel experiments ...

Previous studies demonstrated that laminar separation bubbles (LSBs) in the absence of external disturbances or forcing are intrinsically unstable with respect to a three-dimensional instability of centrifugal nature. This ...

In this work we examine the phenomenon of laminar-turbulent transition in a heated rectangular channel under high heat fluxes and water as a working fluid. We use an experimental device that allows the electric heating of ...

Diversos escoamentos de interesse prático são de fluidos viscoelásticos e muitas vezes é desejável saber se estes escoamentos propagam-se no estado laminar ou no turbulento. Embora a hidrodinâmica de fluidos viscoelásticos ...

In this study we simulate numerically the Reynolds' experiment for the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in a pipe. We present a discussion of the results from a dynamical systems perspective when a control parameter, ...
