Abstract

The evolution of disturbances after a laminar, slightly supercritical flow between parallel planes is disturbed is considered as an initial-value problem. An asymptotic solution of the disturbances for large time possesses the same characteristic features as the turbulent spots observed by Emmons (1951).
