Journal ArticleDOI
Shear layer instability of an inviscid compressible fluid. Part 2
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of parallel shear flow of an inviscid compressible fluid is investigated by a linear analysis and a subsonic neutral solution of the stability equation may be found when the basic flow is represented by the hyperbolic-tangent velocity profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bifurcations of two-dimensional channel flows
Ian Sobey,P. G. Drazin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the stability of two-dimensional channel flows using analytical, numerical and experimental methods and show that the unique symmetric flow which exists at small Reynolds number is not stable at larger Reynolds number, there being a pitchfork bifurcation so that two stable asymmetric steady flows occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kelvin–Helmholtz instability of finite amplitude
TL;DR: In this paper, the non-linear Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of two parallel horizontal streams of inviscid incompressible fluids under the action of gravity is studied theoretically.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Steady Flow of a Fluid of Variable Density Past an Obstacle
TL;DR: In this article, a model of steady airflow past a three-dimensional mountain is considered, where the fluid is inviscid and incompressible, and the primary and secondary velocities are found for large Richardson number (proportional to gd?/? dz 0 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
On the flow of a viscous fluid driven along a channel by suction at porous walls
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical treatment of the Navier-stokes flow of a viscous incompressible fluid driven along a channel by steady uniform suction through porous parallel rigid walls is presented.
