Chapter
The Equations of Fluid Dynamics and Some of Their Consequences
It is well known that the overwhelming majority of both natural and man-made flows of fluids do not vary smoothly in space and time but fluctuate in a quite disordered manner, exhibiting sudden and irregular (...

More About Linear Stability Theory: Studies of The Initial-Value Problem
The normal-mode method of the linear stability theory, which was considered in Chap. 2, deals only with special “wave-like” infinitesimal disturbances of a given laminar...

Chapter
Further Weakly-Nonlinear Approaches to Laminar-Flow Stability: Blasius Boundary-Layer Flow as a Paradigm
Landau’s equation and its generalizations considered in Sect. 4.2 represent a particular weakly-nonlinear approach to the study of flow stability, based on the assumptio...

Chapter
Basic Experimental Facts and Introduction to Linear Stability Theory
Equations describing fluid motion, and some of their simpler solutions, can be found in particular in Sect. 1 of the book by Monin and Yaglom (1971) (later referred as MYl). It is also pointed out there that thes...

Chapter
Stability to Finite Disturbances: Energy Method and Landau’s Equation
The main part of Chap. 2 and the whole of Chap. 3 were devoted to topics of linear stability theory dealing with the evolution of very small flow disturbances satisfying the linearized fluid dynamics equations...

Summary of the Symposium
I would like to share with you some things that I heard at this meeting, and I heard a great deal. Maybe you can correct me if you did not hear them, that might be useful. We started off talking about intuitio...

Chapter
Wavelet analysis of fully developed turbulence data and measurement of scaling exponents
Wavelet analysis can be used to measure directly the scaling exponents characterizing the local multifractal behaviour of the velocity field at inertial-range scales, without recourse to dissipation-type quant...
