Hydrodynamic Stability 2Nonmodal linear stability via the Galerkin method using Chandrasekhar functions expansionThese codes solve the Orr-Sommerfeld/ Squire Initial Value Problem for linear, three-dimensional, wave perturbations in shear flows. The solution is computed by a semi-analytical procedure. Starting from the velocity-vorticity formulation, the solution is...
Hydrodynamic Stability 1Transient dynamics of three-dimensional perturbationsWe consider an initial-value problem (IVP) for arbitrary small three-dimensional perturbations imposed on basic shear flows. We analyze three typical shear flows: the plane Poiseuille and Couette channel flows, the two-dimensional bluff-body wake, and the two- and three-dimensional boundary...

Dynamics of Laminar Thin Shear FlowsAn approximated Navier–Stokes steady solution has been presented for the two dimensional bluff-body wake region that is intermediate between the near wake, which includes the two symmetric counter-rotating eddies, and the ultimate far wake, see Fig. 1. This approximate solution is...
