Fast transients in laminar flow


Calculations of unsteady laminar flows in channels have revealed very fast transients occuring in a limited region of parameter space. This has been investigated by Dick Kachuma using solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions.

Some preliminary results are available in
