Leading-edge effects in bypass transition (2007, methodology): “With an increase in the turbulence intensity from case A to case B, onset of transition moves upstream as has been observed in many experiments (Roach & Brierley 1992; Westin et al. 1994; Matsubara & Alfredsson 2001).”
Model-based scaling of the streamwise energy density in high-Reynolds-number turbulent channels (2013, background): “The dominant structures that emerge from the above transient growth and energy amplification analyses are reminiscent of the streamwise streaks observed at the early stages of transition to turbulence (Matsubara & Alfredsson 2001).”
Stability of zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer distorted by unsteady Klebanoff streaks (2011, background): “1, but slightly exceeds the propagation speed of the wave packets observed by Nagarajan et al. (2007), cr =0.52 − 0.60U∞. The analysis of Goldstein & Sescu (2008) under-predicted this quantity, and the discrepancy was attributed to the two-dimensionality of their result.”
Direct Numerical Simulations of Flow Past an Array of Distributed Roughness Elements (2006, background): “distributed surface roughness [3,4] and those of freestream turbulence [5–9].”
On Tollmien–Schlichting-like waves in streaky boundary layers (2004, background): “The experiments of boundary layer transition under free-stream turbulence by Matsubara and Alfredsson [28] seem to suggest that the breakdown to turbulence is indeed caused by high-frequency secondary instabilities of the streaks.”
Colour of turbulence (2016, result): “This has provided reconciliation with experimental observations (Klebanoff et al. 1962; Klebanoff 1971; Klingmann 1992; Westin et al. 1994; Matsubara & Alfredsson 2001) that, even in the absence of modal instability, bypass transition can be triggered by large transient growth (Gustavsson 1991;…”
Direct numerical simulations of transition in a compressor cascade: the influence of free-stream turbulence (2010, background): “Jacobs & Durbin 2000; Nagarajan et al. 2007). Instead, they are near-wall modes and travel at the phase speed of the boundary layer’s natural, discrete instability waves. This does not preclude, however, that they are influenced by the presence of streaks. Previous work by Cossu & Brandt (2002) and ”
BOUNDARY-LAYER RECEPTIVITY TO FREESTREAM DISTURBANCES (2002, background): “This carefully sequenced set of experiments (Westin et al. 1994, 1998; Boiko et al. 1994; Bakchinov et al. 1998; Alfredsson & Matsubara 2000; Matsubara & Alfredsson 2001) successfully showed the connection between the streaky structure and transient growth.”
Transition in boundary layers subject to free-stream turbulence (2004, methodology): “The laminar streaks have a maximum at about y = 1.3δ ∗ in agreement with the experimental data in Matsubara & Alfredsson (2001), while their turbulent counterparts, at the end of the domain, are located closer to the wall.”
