On the nature of the boundary layers instabilities in a flow between a rotating and a stationary disc
[Sur la nature des instabilités de couche limite dans un écoulement entre un disque fixe et un disque tournant]
Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, Volume 330 (2002) no. 2, pp. 91-99.

La transition d'un écoulement inter-disques de type rotor–stator est étudiée au moyen de la simulation numérique directe et de l'analyse linéaire de stabilité, en utilisant des approximations spectrales. Ce papier est consacré à l'analyse des structures annulaires et spirales obtenues par une méthode numérique tridimensionnelle dans la couche limite de Bödewadt. Les paramètres caractéristiques de ces structures sont comparés aux résultats théoriques et interprétés en termes d'instabilités de type I et II. De plus, les régions absolument instables sont identifiées théoriquement et les nombres de Reynolds critiques à la transition convectif/absolu sont déterminés dans les deux couches de Bödewadt et d'Ekman.

Both theoretical linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulation are performed to study the transition flow between a stationary and a rotating disc. This paper concerns three-dimensional spiral and annular patterns computed with a high-order (spectral) numerical method and related to Bödewadt layer instabilities. The characteristic parameters of these boundary layer patterns are compared to the theoretical results and interpreted in terms of type I and type II generic instabilities. Moreover, the absolute instability regions are also theoretically identified and the critical Reynolds numbers of the convective/absolute transition in both layers are given.
