This basic research on transition to turbulence in a two-dimensional            channel is based on laboratory experiments, theory, and numerical               modeling.  The focus is on so-called turbulent "spots", which are               localized turbulent regions embedded in surrounding laminar flow.               Such spots have been extensively investigated in boundary layers,               here the focus is on developed channel flow.  The research will focus           on non-linear effects and unsteady phenomena.
