Relative periodic edge orbits in plane channel flow
Abstract
A branch of genuine relative periodic orbits is found to be an edge state in plane Poiseuille flow in a periodic domain. These periodic solutions correspond to sinuous quasi-streamwise streaks periodically forced by sinuous quasi streamwise vortices in a self-sustained process. The rms-amplitude of the streaks is found to scale as ≈ Re-0.8, while that of the quasi-streamwise vortices scales like ≈ Re-1.6.
