Bypass transition

Morkovin's path to transition
The path from receptivity to laminar-turbulent transition as illustrated by Morkovin, 1994.[1]

A bypass transition is a laminar–turbulent transition in a fluid flow over a surface. It occurs when a laminar boundary layer transitions to a turbulent one through some secondary instability mode, bypassing some of the pre-transitional events that typically occur in a natural laminar–turbulent transition.[a]
