  • Beschreibung: In this cumulative thesis the onset of turbulence in shear flows with a linearly stable laminar flow is investigated experimentally. The experiments are performed in a pipe and a Taylor-Couette setup, both with large system sizes. A high-precision Taylor-Couette experiment has been designed and three important main results have been obtained in the course of this study. The first main result gives the solution to a question from the 19th century by one of the pioneers of fluid dynamics, Osborne Reynolds. He asked at what critical Reynolds number Re_c pipe flow turns persistently turbulent. ...
