- This paper assesses the sensitivity of the simulated initially-laminar mixing layer to its inflow conditions with an inflow generator to producing correlated inflow fluctuations. This paper is significant as it shows that, when compared to a mixing layer disturbed by Gaussian white noise, key flow statistics vary up to 15% - a result of fundamental differences in the large-scale structure present in each simulation, observed here for the first time. Representative of 2 journal / 4 conference papers, with an AIAA Best Paper award at Aviation 2015. This work has major implications for the modelling of shear flow turbulence.
