Wave-growth associated with turbulent spot in plane Poiseuille flowA kinematic wave theory is used to investigate the cause of the rapid growth of waves observed at the wingtip of turbulent spot in plane Poiseuille flow. It is found that the qualitative behavior of the wave motions is well described by Landahl's breakdown criterion as the wave selection procedure. The predicted wave number, wave angle, and phase velocity are in agreement with those values obtained in a direct simulation.
