Instability and Transition of Fluid Flows

Instability and Transition of Fluid Flows. Instructor: Prof. Tapan K. Sengupta, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This course looks at fluid flow transition - the instabilities that lead the flow to turbulent state. Topics covered in the lectures include: introduction to instability and transition - dynamic stability of still atmosphere, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability; instability and transition in flows - inviscid instability theorems, viscous instability of parallel flows, properties of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation and boundary conditions, instability analysis from the solution of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation, receptivity Analysis of the shear layer, direct simulation of receptivity to free stream excitation; bypass transition; spatio-temporal instability and transition; nonlinear stability - Landau equation and multiple Hopf bifurcation and proper orthogonal decomposition of flow past a cylinder; turbulences - dynamics of turbulence, kinetic energy of fluctuations, Kolmogorov's scaling theory and turbulent length scales.
