Turbulence transition in pipe flow

B Eckhardt, TM Schneider, B Hof… - Annu. Rev. Fluid …, 2007 - annualreviews.org
Pipe flow is a prominent example among the shear flows that undergo transition to turbulence
without mediation by a linear instability of the laminar profile. Experiments on pipe flow, as …

From rolling ball to complete wetting: the dynamic tuning of liquids on nanostructured surfaces

TN Krupenkin, JA Taylor, TM Schneider, S Yang - Langmuir, 2004 - ACS Publications
In this work, for the first time, a dynamic electrical control of the wetting behavior of liquids on
nanostructured surfaces, which spans the entire possible range from the superhydrophobic …

Finite lifetime of turbulence in shear flows

B Hof, J Westerweel, TM Schneider, B Eckhardt - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Generally, the motion of fluids is smooth and laminar at low speeds but becomes highly
disordered and turbulent as the velocity increases. The transition from laminar to turbulent flow …

Turbulence transition and the edge of chaos in pipe flow

TM Schneider, B Eckhardt, JA Yorke - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
The linear stability of pipe flow implies that only perturbations of sufficient strength will trigger
the transition to turbulence. In order to determine this threshold in perturbation amplitude …

Snakes and ladders: localized solutions of plane Couette flow

TM Schneider, JF Gibson, J Burke - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We demonstrate the existence of a large number of exact solutions of plane Couette flow,
which share the topology of known periodic solutions but are localized in one spatial dimension…

Laminar-turbulent boundary in plane Couette flow

TM Schneider, JF Gibson, M Lagha, F De Lillo… - Physical Review E, 2008 - APS
We apply the iterated edge-state tracking algorithm to study the boundary between laminar
and turbulent dynamics in plane Couette flow at Re= 400. Perturbations that are not strong …

Eliminating turbulence in spatially intermittent flows

B Hof, A De Lozar, M Avila, X Tu, TM Schneider - science, 2010 - science.org
Flows through pipes and channels are the most common means to transport fluids in practical
applications and equally occur in numerous natural systems. In general, the transfer of …

Stability landscape of shell buckling

E Virot, T Kreilos, TM Schneider, SM Rubinstein - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We measure the response of cylindrical shells to poking and identify a stability landscape,
which fully characterizes the stability of perfect shells and imperfect ones in the case where a …

Turbulent-laminar patterns in plane Poiseuille flow

…, T Kreilos, H Schrobsdorff, TM Schneider… - Physics of …, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
Turbulent-laminar banded patterns in plane Poiseuille flow are studied via direct numerical
simulations in a tilted and translating computational domain using a parallel version of the …

Localized edge states nucleate turbulence in extended plane Couette cells

TM Schneider, D Marinc, B Eckhardt - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 - cambridge.org
We study the turbulence transition of plane Couette flow in large domains where localized
perturbations are observed to generate growing turbulent spots. Extending previous studies …
