Abstract:The main part of Chap. 2 and the whole of Chap. 3 were devoted to topics of linear stability theory dealing with the evolution of very small flow disturbances satisfying the linearized fluid dynamics equations. In Chap. 2 it was shown that the classical normal-mode method of the linear theory of hydrodynamic stability often leads to results which strongly disagree with experimental data. It was also indicated there that these disagreements are apparently due to nonlinear effects, which make linearization of th… Show more
