Stability of Liquid Flow down an Inclined Plane
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of a liquid layer flowing down an inclined plane is investigated, and a new perturbation method is used to furnish information regarding stability of surface waves for three cases: the case of small wavenumbers, of small Reynolds numbers, and of large wavenifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Instability due to viscosity stratification
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the variation of viscosity in a fluid can cause instability, however small the Reynolds number is, and that the unstable modes are in the neighbourhood of a hidden neutral mode for the case of a single fluid, which is entirely ignored in the usual theory of hydrodynamic stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitational Convection from a Boundary Source
TL;DR: In this paper, the mean patterns of free convection from a line source and a point source are presented without regard to the specific means by which the gravitational action is produced, and derived functional relationships are then verified and completed through use of velocity and temperature measurements above sources of heat, the generalized form of the results permitting characteristics of the mean flow to be determined over a considerable range of primary variables.
