Summary
Investigations of the mechanisms underlying bypass transition are presented, and it is shown that a linear growth mechanism is required for energy growth. In shear flows such a mechanism is identified in the rapid transient growth of streaks produced by the three-dimensional lift-up effect. In streak breakdown, oblique transition and receptivity of three-dimensional free-stream disturbances it is shown that this transient growth is utilized as a main mechanism for disturbance growth.
