SIMSON : A Pseudo-Spectral Solver for Incompressible Boundary Layer Flows (2007, background): “Transition in boundary layers subject to free-stream turbulence (Brandt et al., 2004) 9.”
Stability of zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer distorted by unsteady Klebanoff streaks (2011, background): “It also bears a clear similarity to the flow patterns which preceded boundary-layer breakdown in previous simulations of bypass transition due to free-stream turbulence, in the absence of a leading edge (Jacobs & Durbin 2001; Brandt et al. 2004).”
Streak instabilities in boundary layers beneath free-stream turbulence (2014, methodology): “This compares favourably with values of 0.70U∞ found by Brandt et al. (2004) and 0.75U∞ reported by Vaughan & Zaki (2011).”
Transition induced by free-stream turbulence (2005, background): “…the same time have the same turbulence scales (both regarding the turbulence decay and the energy-containing scales) is a demanding task, and such studies may therefore be more suitable for direct numerical simulations where such requirements may be controlled easily (see e.g. Brandt et al. 2004).”
Leading-edge effects in bypass transition (2007, background): “As in the simulations of Jacobs & Durbin (2001) and Brandt et al. (2004), spots are formed by instabilities growing on low-speed streaks.”
Turbulent boundary layers at moderate Reynolds numbers: inflow length and tripping effects (2012, background): “On the other hand, cases LF and LA (figure 4b,c), tend to form incipient turbulent spots (similar to bypass transition caused by free-stream disturbances as e.g. described in Brandt et al. 2004), which then grow while travelling downstream and eventually merge to produce a fully turbulent flow.”
The lift-up effect : The linear mechanism behind transition and turbulence in shear flows (2014, methodology): “The visualization of the transition under free-stream turbulence is extracted from the numerical simulations presented in Brandt et al. (2004); Schlatter et al. (2008) at supercritical conditions.”
Direct numerical simulation of turbulence in a nominally zero-pressure-gradient flat-plate boundary layer (2009, background): “Jacobs & Durbin (2001), Brandt et al. (2004) and Zaki & Durbin (2005). Streaks are abundant in the present ZPGFPBL prior to breakdown (see figures 32 and 33).”
