2. Background - generalities
⢠Three-dimensional wall roughness has numerous applications in
aerospace engineering :
â Upstream shift of the transition location
â Transition delay
â Increase/Decrease of the skin friction ...
⢠Despite the large body of literature, physical mechanisms
inducing transition are still poorly understood :
â Empirical transition criterion by von DoenhoďŹ and Braslow,
experimental investigation by Asai et al, ...
â Investigations usually focus on one kind of roughness, without
considering the eďŹect of its shape

8. Three-dimensional Base Flows
Main features of the base ďŹows with (Ρ, δ99 /h, Re) = (2, 2, 1000) :
â Upstream and downstream
reversed ďŹow regions (blue for
U = 0),
â Vortical system stemming
from the upstream recirculation
bubble (green for Q criterion).
â Uptream spanwise vorticity
wraps around the roughness
element and transforms into
streamwise vorticity downstream

9. Three-dimensional Base Flows - (2)
â Creation of downstream quasi-aligned streamwise vortices
â Transfer of momentum through the lift-up eďŹect giving birth to
streamwise streaks
⢠For the bump, the streaks are weaker and more streamwise-localized
than for the cylinder

11. Eigenspectra
Cylinder â branch of eigenvalues, unstable mode at Rec = 803 (Reh = 593)
Bump â isolated mode becoming unstable at Rec = 891 (Reh = 659), followed
by a very stable branch
The bump becomes unstable at larger Re than the cylinder

12. Cylinderâs leading mode
Spatial support of the most unstable mode (u Âą 0.05, v = Âą0.02, and w = Âą0.05)
⢠The spatial support of the mode is located on the
streaks, well downstream of the cylinder
⢠It is composed by streamwise-alternated patches of
positive/negative velocity perturbation
⢠It is symmetric w.r.t. the z = 0 axis (varicose mode)

13. Bumpâs leading mode
Spatial support of the most unstable mode (u Âą 0.05, v = Âą0.02, and w = Âą0.05)
⢠The spatial support of the mode is located on the
separation zone, close to the bump
⢠It is composed by streamwise-alternated patches of
positive/negative velocity perturbation
⢠It is symmetric w.r.t. the z = 0 axis (varicose mode)

(Ρ, δ99 /h, Re) = (2, 2, 1000)

17. Branch vs. isolated mode
The instability mechanism appears the same for the two roughness elements
â But why for the bump the branch is very far from the most unstable mode ?
CYLINDER
BUMP
⢠The two most unstable modes are
very similar, except for a shift in the
streamwise direction
⢠They are located on the low-speed
streak downstream of the roughness
element
⢠Probably related to the
quasi-parallelism of the streaks
⢠The two most unstable modes are
very diďŹerent
⢠The isolated mode is located on the
low-speed streak close to the
roughness ; the modes on the stable
branch at the outlet
⢠Probably related to the
streamwise-localization of the streaks
17/20
18. Conclusions
⢠CYLINDER :
â Very strong quasi-parallel streaks downstream of the roughness element
â Unstable mode at Re = 803, closely followed by an eigenvalue branch
â Spatially localized along the central low-speed streak
â Varicose symmetry, but it extracts its energy mostly from the
spanwise shear
⢠BUMP :
â Rather strong streaks which fade away far from the roughness element
â An isolated mode is destabilized at Re = 891, followed by a very
stable branch
â Spatially localized along the central low-speed streak closer to the
separation zone
â Varicose symmetry, but it extracts its energy mostly from the
spanwise shear
â Global counterpart of the local streakâs instability observed by Asai
et al(2002,2007) and Brandt (2006).

19. Outlook and future works
⢠Several questions remain unanswered :
â Why the critical Reynolds number is higher in the bumpâs case ?
Maybe because of the lower amount of ďŹuid displaced by the roughness
element ?
â What would happens considering a cylinder having the same
surface area of the bump, instead of the same aspect ratio ? Would
the critical Reynolds number be the same ?
â For thin cylinders (Ρ ⤠1), a sinuous unstable mode has been
recovered. Does a sinuous mode exists also for the bump ?
â What about non-normal and non-linear eďŹects in the transition
process ? (Arnal et al., Cherubini et al., ...)
â Because of the spatial localization of the mode, would a local
stability analysis give similar results ?
