Additional information
The research was conducted in a major facility at Delft Hydraulics sponsored by EC-HYDRALAB (Contract 022441-R113, involving 7 countries) and EPSRC (EP/C015177/1). Focusing on a simple but informative, linearly accelerating flow allows us to reveal for the first time the three-stage development of wall shear and its relation to turbulence. This work provides the theoretical background (frozen turbulence in Stage 1) for J. Hydraul. Eng., 137, 606-610, 2011. The new hypothesis regarding eddy stretching under flow acceleration is a stepping-stone to a more radical concept of transient turbulent flow transition proposed in J. Fluid Mechanics, 715, 60-102, 2013.
