Description

Direct numerical solutions of the three-dimensional time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations for planar shear flows exhibit explosive transitions to disordered flow structures at strongly subcritical Reynolds numbers. Some comments are made on extensions of this work to flows in more complicated geometries. (orig.)
