The Convective Instability of Boundary-layer Flows over Rotating Spheroids
The continuous development of spinning projectiles and other industrial applications has led to the need to understand the laminar boundary-layer flow and subsequent onset of transition over the general family of rotating spheroids. We begin by finding the laminar boundary-layer flow over a general spheroid. In particular, we distinguish between prolate and oblate spheroids and use an appropria...
متن کاملAmplitude equations for weakly nonlinear two-scale perturbations of free hydromagnetic convective regimes in a rotating layer
Weakly nonlinear stability of regimes of free hydromagnetic thermal convection in a rotating horizontal layer with free electrically conducting boundaries is considered in the Boussinesq approximation. Perturbations are supposed to involve large spatial and temporal scales. Applying methods for homogenisation of parabolic equations, we derive the system of amplitude equations governing the evol...
متن کاملConvective instability of electrokinetic flows in a cross-shaped microchannel
We present a parametric experimental study of convective electrokinetic instability (EKI) in an isotropically etched, cross-shaped microchannel using quantitative epifluorescence imaging. The base state is a three-inlet, one-outlet electrokinetic focusing flow configuration where the centre sample stream and sheath flows have mismatched ionic conductivities. Electrokinetic flows with conductivi...
متن کاملHydromagnetic instability in differentially rotating flows.
We study the stability of compressible differentially rotating flows in the presence of the magnetic field, and we show that the compressibility profoundly alters the previous results for a magnetized incompressible flow. The necessary condition of newly found instability can be easily satisfied in various flows in laboratory and astrophysical conditions and reads BsBphiOmega' not equal to 0, w...
متن کاملConvective instability of strained layer step-flow
We examine an epitaxial crystal growth model in the context of absolute and convective instabilities and show that a strain-induced step bunching instability can be convective. Using analytic stability theory and numerical simulations, we study the response of the crystal surface to an inhomogeneous deposition flux that launches impulsive and time-periodic perturbations to a uniform array of st...
