Resolvent Estimates for 2 Dimensional Perturbations of Plane Couette Flow *
نویسنده
چکیده
We present results concerning resolvent estimates for the linear operator associated with the system of differential equations governing perturbations of the Couette flow. We prove estimates on the norm of the resolvent of this operator showing this norm to be proportional to the Reynolds number R for a region of the complex plane. Numerical approximations indicate that the same dependence is valid for the whole region of interest.

We present results concerning resolvent estimates for the linear operator associated with the system of differential equations governing 2 dimensional perturbations of plane Couette flow. We prove estimates on the L2 norm of the resolvent of this operator showing this norm to be proportional to the Reynolds number R for a region of the unstable half plane. For the remaining region, we show that...
متن کاملResolvent Estimates for Plane Couette Flow
We discuss the problem of deriving estimates for the resolvent of the linear operator associated with three dimensional perturbations of plane Couette flow, and determining its dependence on the Reynolds number R. Depending on the values of the parameters involved, we derive estimates analytically. For the remaining values of the parameters, we prove that deriving estimates for the resolvent ca...
متن کاملBounds for the Threshold Amplitude for Plane Couette Flow
We prove nonlinear stability for finite amplitude perturbations of plane Couette flow. A bound of the solution of the resolvent equation in the unstable complex half-plane is used to estimate the solution of the full nonlinear problem. The result is a lower bound, including Reynolds number dependence, of the threshold amplitude below which all perturbations are stable. Our result is an improvem...
متن کاملOn the resolvent technique for stability of plane Couette flow
We discuss the application of the resolvent technique to prove stability of plane Couette flow. Using this technique, we derive a threshold amplitude for perturbations that can lead to turbulence in terms of the Reynolds number. Our main objective is to show exactly how much control one should have over the perturbation to assure stability via this technique. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classifica...
متن کاملLarge-scale instability in a sheared nonhelical turbulence: Formation of vortical structures.
We study a large-scale instability in a sheared nonhelical turbulence that causes generation of large-scale vorticity. Three types of the background large-scale flows are considered, i.e., the Couette and Poiseuille flows in a small-scale homogeneous turbulence, and the "log-linear" velocity shear in an inhomogeneous turbulence. It is known that laminar plane Couette flow and antisymmetric mode...
