A theoretical investigation into the effect of nonlinear wave interactions in promoting transition-to-turbulence

非线性波相互作用对过渡到湍流影响的理论研究。过渡到湍流的问题仍然是流体动力学中尚未解决的基本问题之一。如果要实现对湍流的主动控制，就必须了解导致过渡的过程。该项目将把注意力集中在一类新的波浪上，这些波浪最近才被描述为CI，以确定它们是如何被触发的，以及它们如何在广泛的流体流动中积极促进湍流的早期发展。

A theoretical investigation into the effect of nonlinear wave interactions in promoting transition-to-turbulence. The problem of transition-to-turbulence remains one of the fundamental unanswered questions in fluid dynamics. An understanding of the processes leading to transition is necessary if the active control of turbulence is to be achieved. This project will focus attention on a new class of waves, which have only recently been described the CI, in order to determine how they are triggered and how they may serve to actively promote the early development of turbulence in a broad class of fluid flows.
