On the energetics of primary and secondary instabilities in plane Poiseuille flow

The phenomenon of transition in a laminar flow has been a topic of continued interest for many years. Recent experiments in shear flows have revealed a series of instabilities that lead to breakdown to turbulence. We have completed an analysis of the mechanisms which drive the primary (TS wave) and...
