On the Stability of Inviscid Parallel Shear Flows with a Free Surface
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the linear stability of inviscid parallel shear flow with a free surface. Gravity is included in the analysis, but surface tension is not. We focus on several specific profiles including Poiseuille flow and various profiles with inflection points. Instabilities are found in all the profiles we studied. At neutral limiting modes, the wave speed of the disturbance is equal to one of three choices: the fluid speed at the bottom, an extremum of the fluid speed, or an inflectional value. The results help to clarify conflicting claims in prior literature. Mathematics Subject Classification. 76E05.

Linear Stability of Inviscid Plane-Parallel Flows of Vibrationally Excited Diatomic Gases
This chapter is devoted to investigations of linear stability of plane-parallel flows of an inviscid nonheat-conducting vibrationally excited gas. Some classical results of the theory of linear stability of ideal gas flows, such as the first and second Rayleigh’s theorems and Howard’s theorem, are generalized. An equation of the energy balance of disturbances is derived, which shows that vibrat...
متن کاملBounds on the phase velocity in the linear instability of viscous shear flow problem in the β - plane
Parallel shear flows problem is a classical hydrodynamic instability problem and continues to attract attention of researchers [1,2,3,5]. Kuo [8] considered slightly general case of a homogeneous, inviscid, parallel shear flow problem in the β -plane. He obtained the linearized perturbation equation for this problem and derived an extension of the celebrated Rayleigh’s [9] inflexion point crite...
متن کاملA Composite Finite Difference Scheme for Subsonic Transonic Flows (RESEARCH NOTE).
This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...
متن کاملComparison of Binomial and Power Equations in Radial Non-Darcy Flows in Coarse Porous Media
Analysis of non-laminar flows in coarse alluvial beds has a wide range of applications in various civil engineering, oil and gas, and geology problems. Darcy equation is not valid to analyze transient and turbulent flows, so non-linear equations should be applied. Non-linear equations are classified into power and binomial equations. Binomial equation is more accurate in a wide range of velocit...
