Motivation
Paths to transition1: The rule of transient growthThe non-normality of the NS equations cangive rise to transient energy amplification
The nonnormality of the system can give rise to transient energy amplification.
Even though we experience exponential decay for large times, the non-orthogonal superposition of eigenvectors can lead to short-time growth of energy.

Geometric interpretation
Transient growth is a candidate mechanism forseveral cases of bypass transition wherein theroute to laminar-turbulent transition bypassesthe well-known paths to turbulence via modalinstabilities of the underlying laminar basicstate, for example:

Spherical forebodies: the blunt body paradox3,4
Transition observed while the flow is T-S stable, Gortler stable (convexcurvature) and crossflow is negligible. Why?

Motivation
Can TG theory explain transition in these cases?7
Reshotko and Tumin5 suggested transient growth as a possible explanationfor transition over blunt nose tips and showed that a transition criterionbased on linear optimal growth provided successful correlation with thePANT database (M ≤ 6).Recent data6 corresponds to higher Mach numbers (M ≥ 6).

Theory
Transient growth analysis using PSE10
The optimal initial disturbance, q0, is defined as the inflow condition at x0that leads to maximum energy amplification or gain, G , up to a specifiedposition, x1.Objective function: J(q) = G = E(x1)
E(x0) .Mack’s energy norm: E (ξ) =
∫Ω q(x)HMq(x) dΩ, with
M = diag[
T (x)γρ(x)M2 , ρ(x), ρ(x), ρ(x), ρ(x)
γ(γ − 1)T (x)M2
].
Variational formulation using direct and adjoint PSE,
L(q, q∗) = J(q)− 〈q∗,Lq〉,
where q∗ denotes the vector of adjoint disturbance variables.The PSE approach allows the analysis of a broader class of mean flowsincluding those based on NS solvers.

Theory
Non-linear development of optimal perturbationsThe linearly optimal disturbance is used as inflow condition with finiteamplitude.The nonlinear-perturbation form of the parabolized Navier-Stokes equationsare used, which is equivalent to the nonlinear plane-marching PSE11 for asingle stationary perturbation (N = 0, α0 = 0):
q(x , y , z , t) =N∑
n=−Nqn(x , y , z) exp
[i∫
xαn(x ′)dx ′ − inωt
],
An implicit marching technique is used to facilitate the computation ofnonlinear streaks with large amplitudes.The instability of the resulting modified boundary layer flow is investigatedby the linear form of the plane-marching PSE12.

Self-similar vs. full Navier-Stokes solutionsOptimal perturbations are commonly computed from the leading edge,x0 = 0, using the self-similar base flow solution, which ignores both theviscous-inviscid interaction near the leading edge and the weak shock waveemanating from that regionTo assess the effects of this simplification, a realistic basic state based onthe Navier-Stokes (NS) equations is used

Summary and Conlusions
Verification of newly developed linear, adjoint-PSE based optimization codefor compressible flows with results from literature.The effects of the viscous-inviscid interaction near the leading edge and theweak shock wave produce a 10% deviation from results based on self-similarbase flow when the initial optimization position is located near the leadingedge.Sinuous mode becomes unstable before the varicose mode for the moderateamplitude streaks studied.A non-linear perturbation form of the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations isdemonstrated for the computation of the downstream development ofhigh-amplitude stationary disturbances.The optimal initial optimization position for maximum energy also leads toearlier/stronger growth of secondary instability and, hence, earlier onset ofbypass transition relative to other inflow locations.Bypass transition via finite-amplitude optimal disturbances is demonstratedfor a zero-pressure-gradient flat plate boundary layer.
