On the Stability of Three-Dimensional Disturbances in Stratified Flow with Lateral and Vertical Shear
Howard's semi-circle theorem is generalized for three-dimensional disturbances in a non-Boussinesq stratified fluid with a mean flow varying horizontally and vertically. In case of Boussinesq approximation Howard's and Rayleigh's theorem are extended for three-dimensional disturbances in a fluid with a mean flow varying only with respect to the latitude.

متن کاملInstability criterion for oblique modes in stratified circular Couette flow
An analytical approach is carried out that provides an inviscid stability criterion for the strato-rotational instability (in short SRI) occurring in a Taylor-Couette system. The control parameters of the problem are the rotation ratio μ and the radius ratio η. The study is motivated by recent experimental [1] and numerical [2, 3] results reporting the existence of unstable modes beyond the Ray...
متن کاملNonlinear Stability of Thin, Radially-Stratified Disks
We perform local numerical experiments to investigate the nonlinear stability of thin, radially-stratified disks. We demonstrate the presence of radial convective instability when the disk is nearly in uniform rotation, and show that the net angular momentum transport is slightly inwards, consistent with previous investigations of vertical convection. We then show that a convectively-unstable e...
متن کاملThe sensitivity of stratified flow stability to base flow modifications
We present a novel theory that determines the sensitivity of linear stability to changes in the density or velocity of a base flow. The sensitivity is based on global direct and adjoint eigenmodes of the linearized Boussinesq equation, and is inspired by constantdensity sensitivity analysis. The theory can be applied broadly to incompressible flows with small density variations, but it specific...
