Transient growth of separated flows

Transient growth is quantitatively examined in two prototype separated flows using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). Separated flows typically exhibit regions of convective instability due to the inflectional velocity profiles inherent in the shear flow. This can lead to the transient growth of sma...
