Sinuous distortion of vortex surfaces in the lateral growth of turbulent spots. Physical Review Fluids. 2018;7:1–16.
AbstractAuthor(s): Yaomin Zhao, Shiying Xiong, Yue Yang, and Shiyi ChenThere is a continued debate about the generation mechanism of turbulent spots in boundary-layer transition. We use the vortex-surface field to show that the sinuous distortion of vortex surfaces plays an important role in the rapid lateral growth of turbulent spots.[Phys. Rev.
