Multiple instability of layered stratifed plane Couette flow
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-02-25)
We present the linear stability properties and nonlinear evolution of two-dimensional plane Couette flow for a statically stable Boussinesq three-layer fluid of total depth 2$h$ between two horizontal plates driven at ...
Designing a more nonlinearly stable laminar flow via boundary manipulation
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013-12-04)
We show how a fully nonlinear variational method can be used to design a more nonlinearly stable laminar shear flow by quantifying the effect of manipulating the boundary conditions of the flow. Using the example of plane ...
