Quantification of linear and nonlinear energy transfer processes in a plane wake

<p>The transition to turbulence of plane wakes is characterized by the development of the velocity-fluctuation field from a spectrum of weak random background noise in the initial laminar wake to a nearly featureless broad spectrum of intense fluctuations within the turbulent wake. This transi...
