The origins of turbulent flow and the transition from laminar to
turbulent flow are among the most important unsolved problems of
fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. Besides being a fundamental
question of fluid mechanics, there are any number of applications
for information regarding transition location and the details of
the subsequent turbulent flow. The JUT AM Symposium on
Laminar-Turbulent Transition, co-hosted by Arizona State University
and the University of Arizona, was held in Sedona, Arizona.
Although four previous JUT AM Symposia bear the same appellation
(Stuttgart 1979, Novosibirsk 1984, Toulouse 1989, and Sendai 1994)
the topics that were emphasized at each were different and reflect
the evolving nature of our understanding of the transition process.
The major contributions of Stuttgart 1979 centered on nonlinear
behavior and later stages of transition in two-dimensional boundary
layers. Stability of closed systems was also included with Taylor
vortices in different geometries. The topics of Novosibirsk 1984
shifted to resonant wave interactions and secondary instabilities
in boundary layers. Pipe- and channel-flow transition were
discussed as model problems for the boundary layer. Investigations
of free shear layers were presented and a heavy dose of supersonic
papers appeared for the first time. The character of Toulouse 1989
was also different in that 3-D boundary layers, numerical
simulations, streamwise vortices, and foundation papers on
receptivity were presented. Sendai 1994 saw a number of papers on
swept wings and 3-D boundary layers. Numerical simulations attacked
a broader range of problems.
