Journal ArticleDOI

Turbulence transition in pipe flow

TL;DR: 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 as discussed by the authors, which can consistently be explained on the assumption that the turbulent state corresponds to a chaotic saddle in state space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crowd synchrony on the Millennium Bridge

TL;DR: This approach should help engineers to estimate the damping needed to stabilize other exceptionally crowded footbridges against synchronous lateral excitation by pedestrians by adapting ideas originally developed to describe the collective synchronization of biological oscillators such as neurons and fireflies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental Observation of Nonlinear Traveling Waves in Turbulent Pipe Flow

TL;DR: Experimental observation of unstable traveling waves in pipe flow is reported, confirming the proposed transition scenario and suggesting that the dynamics associated with these unstable states may indeed capture the nature of fluid turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traveling waves in pipe flow

TL;DR: A family of three-dimensional traveling waves for flow through a pipe of circular cross section that provide a skeleton for the formation of a chaotic saddle that can explain the intermittent transition to turbulence and the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in this shear flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Edge of chaos in a parallel shear flow.

TL;DR: It is found that the surface of the edge of chaos coincides with the stable manifold of a periodic orbit, whereas at higher Reynolds numbers it is the stable set of a higher-dimensional chaotic object.
