We revisit the somewhat classical problem of the linear stability of a rigidly rotating liquid column in this communication. Although literature pertaining to this problem dates back to 1959, the relation between inviscid and viscous…
We investigate the stabilization of a locally coupled wave equations with only one internal viscoelastic damping of Kelvin-Voigt type. The main novelty in this paper is that both the damping and the coupling coefficients are non smooth.…
A new condition for the linear dissipative instability of the strong plane shock wave in an arbitrary medium is obtained. The instability of the shock is realized due to the flow instability behind its front, which is similar to the known…
