Abstract: This article contains a review of modal stability theory. It covers local stability analysis of parallel flows including temporal stability, spatial stability, phase velocity, group velocity, spatiotemporal stability, the ...

Abstract: Applied Mechanics Reviews (AMR) is an international review journal that serves as a premier venue for stateoftheart and retrospective survey articles and reviews of research areas and curricular developments across all ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic efficiency of turbomachinery blades is profoundly affected by the occurrence of laminar-turbulent transition in the boundary layer since skin friction and losses rise for the turbulent state. Depending on ...

Abstract: In the present work, the evolution of the boundary layer over a low-pressure turbine blade is studied using direct numerical simulations, with the aim of investigating the unsteady flow field induced by the rotor-stator ...
