Two-phase flow instability in microchannel flow boiling exhibits pressure fluctuations with different frequencies and amplitudes. One possible way to suppress the dynamic instability is to introduce synthetic jet near the inlet of the channel. An important feature of synthetic jet is that it allows momentum transfer into the microchannel flow without net mass injection into it. The strength and...

We demonstrate that arbitrarily weak magnetic field may cause violent instability of an anticyclonic, recirculating flow with uniform mean angular velocity. This magnetohydrodynamic instability would trigger turbulence in the cores of vortices where neither centrifugal, exchange instability, nor magnetorotational instability is effective. In the accretion disk vortices this can be an important ...

The mixing of pollutions and sediments in near shore regions of natural water bodies depends heavily on the characteristics such as the strength and frequency of flow instability. In the present paper, the instability of natural convection induced by absorption of solar radiation in littoral regions is considered. Spectral analysis is conducted on the quasi-steady state flow to reveal the power...

Convective instability in an open flow system with distributed time scales from upstream to downstream is studied. By exploiting the convective instability, the upstream fluctuation with fast time scale is not only amplified along the flow but is also slowed down along the flow to the downstream. Through the instability, statistical property of the downstream shows sensitive dependence on the d...

in the present work, the effect of fluid’s elasticity was investigated on the hydrodynamic instability of blasius flow. to determine the critical reynolds number as a function of the elasticity number, a two-dimensional linear temporal stability analysis was invoked. the viscoelastic fluid is assumed to obey the walters’ b fluid model for which base flow velocity profiles were fortunately avail...

This article presents a comparison of the entropy production in a laminar and transitional boundary layer flow with the spectral entropy produced in a region of instability induced by an imposed periodic disturbance. The objective of the study is exploratory in nature by computing a boundary-layer environment with well-established computer techniques and comparing the predictions of the maximum...
