Abstract
In the present paper we propose a three-dimensional theoretical model describing the local evolution of any two- or three-dimensional disturbance superimposed on a basic shear flow. A numerical investigation, using a truncated form of the evolution model, was performed to select resonant three-dimensional disturbance in a transitional cylinder wake. A truncation criterion of non-linear triadic resonance, which is a generalisation of the standard linear-resonance condition, allowed us to locate some triadic sets of linear eigenmodes. Numerical integration of the corresponding low-dimensional dynamical systems showed interesting results that are in qualitative agreement with those performed by Williamson and Prasad [J. Fluid Mech. 256 (1993) 269.] This seems to validate the truncation criterion which, together with the theoretical model, proved to be an appropriate tool for describing the local evolution of large-scale structures in shear flowsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
