2. 1. Stability and Receptivity of Three-Dimensional Boundary Layers

   Author : David Tempelmann; Dan Henningson; Stefan Hein; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Receptivity; stability; optimal growth; three-dimensional boundary layers; parabolised stability equations; adjoint PSE; crossflow instability; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : The stability and the receptivity of three-dimensional flat plate boundary layers is studied employing parabolised stability equations. These allow for computationally efficient parametric studies. Two different sets of equations are used. READ MORE

4. 2. Stability and transition of three-dimensional boundary layers

   Author : Seyed Mohammad Hosseini; Ardeshir Hanifi; Vassilios Theofilis; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Receptivity; stability; optimal growth; three-dimensional boundary layers; crossflow instability; roughness control; freestream turbulence; secondary instability;

   Abstract : A focus has been put on the stability characteristics of different flow types existing on air vehicles. Flow passing over wings and different junctions on an aircraft face numerous local features, ranging from different pressure gradients, to interacting boundary layers. READ MORE

   Author : Mattias Brynjell-Rahkola; Dan Henningson; Philipp Schlatter; Ardeshir Hanifi; Spencer Sherwin; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrodynamic stability; transition to turbulence; global analysis; boundary layers; roughness; laminar flow control; Stokes Laplace preconditioner; optimal forcing; crossflow vortices; Ginzburg-Landau; Falkner-Skan-Cooke; Blasius; lid-driven cavity;

   Abstract : This thesis considers the stability and transition of incompressible boundary layers. In particular, the Falkner–Skan–Cooke boundary layer subject to a cylindrical surface roughness, and the Blasius boundary layer with applied localized suction are investigated. READ MORE

6. 4. On stability, transition and turbulence in three-dimensional boundary-layer flows

   Author : Seyed Mohammd Hosseini; Ardeshir Hanifi; Spencer Sherwin; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Receptivity; stability; optimal growth; three-dimensional bound- ary layers; crossflow instability; roughness control; freestream turbulence; sec- ondary instability; transition; turbulence;

   Abstract : A lot has changed since that day on December 17, 1903 when the Wright brothers made the first powered manned flight. Even though the concepts behind flying are unaltered, appearance of stat-of-the-art modern aircrafts has undergone a massive evolution. READ MORE

7. 5. Receptivity of crossflow-dominated boundary layers

   Author : David Tempelmann; Ardeshir Hanifi; Dan Henningson; Anatoli Tumin; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Receptivity; three-dimensional boundary layers; optimal growth; adjoint solutions; swept wing;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with receptivity mechanisms of three-dimensional, crossflow-dominated boundary layers. The receptivity of two model problems, a swept-flat-plate and a swept-wing boundary layer, is investigated by solving the parabolised stability equations (PSE) as well as by performing direct numerical simulations (DNS).
