Nominator's project description

Laminar-turbulent transition in boundary layers is one of the most complicated problems of Fluid mechanics. A laminar boundary layer causes less drag than a turbulent one and would be most desirable in many applications. Nonlinear mechanisms of these very complicated process will be investigated by a new, highly sophisticated procedure, the so-called "deterministic noise method" that together with the great experience of Professor Kachanov as well as the advanced experimental equipment and great experience of members of Institute of Aerodynamcis an Gas Dynamics of Stuttgart University is a very favorable combination to conduct the project.
