Direct and noisy transitions in a model shear flow
The transition to turbulence in flows where the laminar profile is linearly stable requires perturbations of finite amplitude. “Optimal” perturbations are distinguished as extrema of certain functionals, and different functionals give different optima. We here discuss the phase space structure of a...
