Evolution of Wavelike Disturbances in Shear Flows: A Class of Exact Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations
TL;DR: In this article, the Navier-Stokes equations are solved with exact solutions for two-and three-dimensional shear flows of unbounded extent, including two-dimensional stagnation point flows and 2-dimensional flows with uniform vorticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The stability of an incompressible two-dimensional wake
TL;DR: In this article, the growth of small disturbances in a two-dimensional incompressible wake has been investigated theoretically and experimentally and the theoretical analysis is based upon inviscid stability theory wherein small disturbances are considered from both temporal and spatial reference frames.
Book
Theory and Computation of Hydrodynamic Stability
TL;DR: In this article, both classical and modern aspects of hydrodynamic stability are systematically developed from the simplest physical problems, then progressing chapter by chapter to the most complex, considering linear and nonlinear situations, and analysing temporal and spatial stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Steady shear flow of non-Newtonian fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if secondary flows do not occur in elliptical tubes of any shape, they will not exist in any other shape of a tube, and that such secondary flows are only possible in very special shapes of tubes and that, in general, they are replaced by a flow consisting of such a rectilinear motion combined with a secondary flow in cross-sectional planes.
