The subject of hydrodynamic instabilities and the transition to turbulence has strong connections to fundamental mathematical problems and diverse applications. It is our hope in assembling this volume that these connections will come through clearly. This book is not concerned at all with the structure of strongly turbulent flows. For a summary of this fascinating and active field, we refer...
The brief discussion and bibliography contained in this chapter clearly show the the subject of instabilities and the transition to turbulence continues to evolve rapidly.
Stretching fields and their statistical properties are studied experimentally for four distinct two-dimensional time-periodic confined fluid flows exhibiting chaotic advection: a random vortex array for two different Reynolds numbers, a set of parallel shear layers, and a vortex lattice. The flows are driven electromagnetically, and they are studied by means of precise particle velocimetry. We find...
