plane Poiseuille flow driven by a pressure gradient
–
numerical simulations, program by M.S. (NIFS’s FUJITSU FX100 “Plasma Simulator” ) – wide domain 500×2×250 (also 1000×2×500 and 250×2×125)– long durations, statistical steady state
R = 850 R = 1200 R= 1800 R = 3000 R = 4000
global stability for R < Rg ≈ 700 transitional regime with laminar-turbulent texture for R. Rt ≈ 4000; essentially “featureless” for Rt < R
