Convective and Absolute Instabilities in the Subcritical Ginzburg-Landau Equation
We study the nature of the instability of the homogeneous steady states of the subcritical Ginzburg-Landau equation in the presence of group velocity. The shift of the absolute instability threshold of the trivial steady state, induced by the destabilizing cubic nonlinearities, is confirmed by the numerical analysis of the evolution of its perturbations. It is also shown that the dynamics of th...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of absolute and convective instabilities in optics.
Experimental evidence of convective and absolute instabilities in a nonlinear optical system is given. In optics, the presence of spatial nonuniformities brings in additional complexity. Hence, signatures characterizing these two regimes are derived based on analytical and numerical investigations. The corresponding noise-sustained and dynamical patterns are observed experimentally in a liquid ...
متن کاملAbsolute and convective instabilities of heated coaxial jet flow
This study investigates the inviscid, linear spatio-temporal stability of heated, compressible and incompressible coaxial jet flows. The influence of the temperature ratio and the velocity ratio between the core jet and the bypass stream on the transition from convectively to absolutely unstable flows is studied numerically. The investigation shows that for coaxial jets absolute instability can...
متن کاملConvective and absolute instabilities of fluid flows in finite geometry
Dynamics of linear and nonlinear waves in driven dissipative systems in finite domains are considered. In many cases (for example, due to rotation) the waves travel preferentially in one direction. Such waves cannot be reflected from boundaries. As a consequence in the convectively unstable regime the waves ultimately decay; only when the threshold for absolute instability is exceeded can the w...
متن کاملAbsolute and convective instabilities in an inviscid compressible mixing layer
We consider the stability of a compressible shear flow separating two streams of different speeds and temperatures. The velocity and temperature profiles in this mixing layer are hyperbolic tangents. The normal mode analysis of the flow stability reduces to an eigenvalue problem for the pressure perturbation. We briefly describe the numerical method that we used to solve this problem. Then, we ...
