Abstract
This study deals with thermal instabilities appearing on a "laminar-turbulent" transition. They are considered for a flow in a cylindrical and horizontal duct uniformly heated at the wall. Temporal fluctuations of the wall temperature represent these instabilities. After presenting characteristic and experimental results, we will carry out a signal analysis corresponding to the variations of this temperature. This will help us outline and describe the mechanisms that appear when these instabilities occur.
