Abstract:
Transition in regular K-regime of boundary layer is studied. The features of the long streak that is considered as a form of soliton/like coherent structure (CS-soliton) are investigated briefly. The experiment shows that the breakdown of long streak is generated by chain of ring-like vortices.
