Direct numerical simulations of streak breakdown in boundary layers

• Numerical simulations of bypass transition in Blasius boundary layers are presented. The breakdown of streamwise streaks is first considered in the case of the steady, spanwise periodic basic flows arising from the nonlinear saturation of optimal perturbations and then in the case of transition in boundary layers subject to free-stream turbulence. Similarity and differences with previous work are discussed.
