Abstract
A high-order spectral element method is used to perform direct numerical simulations of flow past a square cylinder at the transition from the two-dimensional von Kármán vortex street in the wake of the cylinder to three-dimensionality. A Reynolds number range between 100 and 300 has been considered and good agreement with previous numerical and experimental results is obtained. At transition, the spanwise perturbation observed in the cylinder wake occurs before the onset of the streamwise vortex separation, while the former mechanism is commonly shown, in the literature, to originate from the latter by an instability of the cores or interactions of shed vortices in the vicinity of the cylinder. It is shown that the first three-dimensional unstable mode, the mode $A$ , originates from an axial stretching of the upstream perturbed vorticity, existing on the braids, due to the strain field created by the spanwise vortices which evolve under a shear instability of the wake when viscous effects are small. On the other hand, the mode $B$ is observed to arise only after spanwise vortices are shed downstream of the cylinder.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
