The origins of turbulent ?ow and the transition from laminar to turbulent ?ow are the most important unsolved problems of ?uid mechanics and aerodynamics. - sides being a fundamental question of ?uid mechanics, there are numerous app- cations relying on information regarding transition location and the details of the subsequent turbulent ?ow. For example, the control of transition to turbulence is - pecially important in (1) skin-friction reduction of energy ef?cient aircraft, (2) the performance of heat exchangers and diffusers, (3) propulsion requirements for - personic aircraft, and (4) separation control. While considerable progress has been made in the science of laminar to turbulent transition over the last 30 years, the c- tinuing increase in computer power as well as new theoretical developments are now revolutionizing the area. It is now starting to be possible to move from simple 1D eigenvalue problems in canonical ?ows to global modes in complex ?ows, all - companied by accurate large-scale direct numerical simulations (DNS). Here, novel experimental techniques such as modern particle image velocimetry (PIV) also have an important role. Theoretically the in?uence of non-normality on the stability and transition is gaining importance, in particular for complex ?ows. At the same time the enigma of transition in the oldest ?ow investigated, Reynolds pipe ?ow tran- tion experiment, is regaining attention. Ideas from dynamical systems together with DNS and experiments are here giving us new insights.

This report presents theoretical results on the stability properties of a Blasius boundary layer perturbed by Klebanoff distortions with a relatively long spanwise scale. Even relatively weak Klebanoff modes can alter the near-wall curvature of the underlying flow by O(1) and, hence, introduce linear instabilities with larger characteristic growth rates and frequencies than those of the Tollmien-Schlichting waves in an unperturbed Blasius flow. A localised distortion supports both sinuous and varicose modes of instability, with the growth rates of the sinuous modes being likely to be larger, in general. Overall, the instability is intermittent in time and localised in space, being confined to a finite part of the Klebanoff mode cycle and to a specific window(s) along the streamwise direction. A spanwise periodic distortion supports spatially quasi-periodic modes (via the parametric resonance mechanism), which may be viewed as modified T-S waves with excess growth rates when the Klebanoff modes are weak. In spite of the simplifications involved in this theory, its predictions appear qualitatively consistent with some of the unusual characteristics of the high-frequency wavepackets observed during previous experiments. The nonlinear development of a localised sinuous mode is followed across a sequence of asymptotic regimes using the non-equilibrium critical-layer theory.

Transition mechanisms to turbulence in the unsteady bottom boundary layer (BBL) driven by a soliton-like pressure gradient in an oscillating water tunnel (an approximation for the BBL under surface solitary waves) are investigated in a hydrodynamic instability context. This investigation aims to establish connections across theoretical and numerical analysis and the experimental findings of Sumer et al., 2010 (J. Fluid Mech. vol. 646, 2010,p. 207). Transition to turbulence in the surface solitary wave-driven BBL can take place according to two different scenarios. The primary scenario is associated with the classical transition resulting from the breakdown of the exponentially growing 2-D Tollmien-Schlichting waves. The alternative scenario consists of a characteristically different path to transition resulting from the formation of localized turbulent spots. The formation of these turbulent spots, which are the manifestation of an algebraic growth of infinite streamwise disturbance, i.e., zero streamwise wave number, leads to a bypass transition to turbulence. In regards to the first scenario, a detailed map for the temporal instability is established. Both linear stability analysis and fully nonlinear two- and threedimensional simulations using high-order numerical methods have been carried out. The process of delineation of the stability regions as a function of boundary layer thickness-based Reynolds number of the temporally evolving base flow, Re[delta] consists of two parts. The first part aims to assess the lower limit of the Re[delta] range within which the standard, quasi- steady, linear stability analysis is applicable as it considers individual profiles sampled during the base flow transient evolution. Below this limit, transient linear stability analysis serves as a more accurate predictor of the stability properties of the base flow. In the second step, above the Re[delta] limit where the BBL is determined to be linearly unstable, the base flow is further classified as unconditionally stable, conditionally unstable or unconditionally unstable in terms of its sensitivity to the amplitude and the insertion time of perturbations. Two distinct modes of instability exist in this case: post- and pre- flow-reversal modes. At a moderate value of Re[delta], both modes are first observed in the wave deceleration phase. The post flow reversal mode dominates for relatively low Re and it is the one observed in Sumer et al. (J. Fluid Mech. vol. 646, 2010,p. 207). For Re above a threshold value of the base flow in the unconditionally unstable regime, the pre-flow reversal mode, which has a larger wavelength than its post-reversal counterpart, becomes dominant. In the same regime, the threshold Re[delta] value above which instability is observed in the acceleration phase of the wave is also identified. In this case, the base flow velocity profiles lack any inflection point, suggesting that the origin of such an instability is viscous. Finally, the lower Re[delta] limit above which quasi-steady linear stability analysis is valid may be independently obtained by adapting to the surface solitary wave BBL framework an instability criterion which links the average growth rate and wave event timescale, as previously proposed in studies of the instability of the interior of progressive and solitary internal waves. This part of the study is a recap to what have been published by Sadek et al. (2015). For the second transition scenario, the linear stability analysis is reformulated in the non- modal framework where the three-dimensional nature of the base flow is considered. By doing such a reformulation, an optimum initial disturbance is identified. Such a disturbance can lead to very large short-term energy growth that can not be captured by the classical modal stability analysis. The optimum initial disturbance is first calculated for different velocity profiles following a quasi-steady approach where the individual profiles are assumed steady within the wave event. Additionally, the resulting short-term maximum energy growth is determined as a function of the streamwise ([alpha]) and spanwise ([beta]) wave number. It is shown that the maximum growth is associated with the disturbance with no streamwise dependence ([alpha] = 0). The formation of streaks is simulated when the three-dimensional DNS is perturbed with the pre-determined optimum initial disturbance. In order to trigger the transition to turbulence, a secondary instability is required. The characteristics of this secondary perturbation is chosen in accordance with the flat plate boundary layer flow. This approach can successfully simulate the bypass transition. Sample result from a representative Re[delta] case are presented in the thesis hereafter.
