Recent results in laminar-turbulent transition. Selected numerical and experimental contributions from the DFG priority programme `Transition' in Germany (Q701922)

This proceedings volume contains 24 papers presented at the international concluding colloquium of the German priority program (DFG-Verbundschwerpunktprogramm) `Transition', held in April 2002 in Stuttgart. The papers summarize the results of the program on subsonic and transonic flows and cover transition mechanisms, transition prediction, transition control, natural transition and measurement techniques, transition-turbulence-separation, and visualization issues. Three invited papers are devoted to mechanisms of turbulence production, to a general framework of stability, receptivity and control, and to a forcing model for receptivity analysis.
