The Origin of Species Charles Darwin The origin of turbulence in
fluids is a long-standing problem and has been the focus of
research for decades due to its great importance in a variety of
engineering applications. Furthermore, the study of the origin of
turbulence is part of the fundamental physical problem of
turbulence description and the philosophical problem of determinism
and chaos. At the end of the nineteenth century, Reynolds and
Rayleigh conjectured that the reason of the transition of laminar
flow to the 'sinuous' state is in stability which results in
amplification of wavy disturbances and breakdown of the laminar
regime. Heisenberg (1924) was the founder of linear hydrody namic
stability theory. The first calculations of boundary layer
stability were fulfilled in pioneer works of Tollmien (1929) and
Schlichting (1932, 1933). Later Taylor (1936) hypothesized that the
transition to turbulence is initi ated by free-stream oscillations
inducing local separations near wall. Up to the 1940s, skepticism
of the stability theory predominated, in particular due to the
experimental results of Dryden (1934, 1936). Only the experiments
of Schubauer and Skramstad (1948) revealed the determining role of
insta bility waves in the transition. Now it is well established
that the transition to turbulence in shear flows at small and
moderate levels of environmental disturbances occurs through
development of instability waves in the initial laminar flow. In
Chapter 1 we start with the fundamentals of stability theory,
employing results of the early studies and recent advances."
