The aim of the present study is to extend the linear unsteady optimal-perturbation analysis of (Luchini 2000) to the nonlinear regime. In order to account for the nonlinear interactions, a Fourier expansion is applied in the streamwise direction and in time and the solution is decomposed in Fourier modes along both z and t. The optimal unsteady spanwise-sinusoidal leading-edge excitation that provides the maximum energy growth for a given initial energy and frequency can thus be determined. Of interest will be that the optimal growth decreases with both.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to extend the linear unsteady optimal-perturbation analysis of (Luchini 2000) to the nonlinear regime. In order to account for the nonlinear interactions, a Fourier expansion is applied in the streamwise direction and in time and the solution is decomposed in Fourier modes along both z and t. The optimal unsteady spanwise-sinusoidal leading-edge excitation that provides the maximum energy growth for a given initial energy and frequency can thus be determined. Of interest will be that the optimal growth decreases with both.File in questo prodotto:
