New necessary and sufficient conditions are proposed for the stability investigation of dynamical systems using the flow and the divergence of the phase vector velocity. The obtained conditions generalize the well-known results of V.P.…
This paper is devoted to analytical solutions for the base flow and temporal stability of a liquid film driven by gravity over an inclined plane when the fluid rheology is given by the Carreau-Yasuda model, a general description that…
Wave interaction theory can be used as a tool to understand and predict instability in a variety of homogeneous and stratified shear flows. It is however, most often limited to piecewise-linear profiles of the shear layer background…
We consider the linear stability of shear banded planar Couette flow of the Johnson-Segalman fluid, with and without the addition of stress diffusion to regularise the equations. In particular, we investigate the effect of two-dimensional…
The definitions of temporal instability and of spatial instability in a flow system are comparatively surveyed. The simple model of one-dimensional Burgers' flow is taken as the scenario where such different conceptions of instability are…
We study stability of unidirectional flows for the linearized 2D $\alpha$-Euler equations on the torus. The unidirectional flows are steady states whose vorticity is given by Fourier modes corresponding to a vector $\mathbf p \in \mathbb…
We present the stability analysis of a plane Couette flow which is stably stratified in the vertical direction orthogonally to the horizontal shear. Interest in such a flow comes from geophysical and astrophysical applications where…
This study seeks to characterise the breakdown of the steady 2D solution in the flow around a 180-degree sharp bend to infinitesimal 3D disturbances using a linear stability analysis. The stability analysis predicts that 3D transition is…
In this paper, we provide a classification of steady solutions to two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations in terms of the set of flow angles. The first main result asserts that the set of flow angles of any bounded steady flow in the…
We investigate the nonlinear instability of a smooth Rayleigh-Taylor steady-state solution (including the case of heavier density with increasing height) to the three-dimensional incompressible nonhomogeneous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)…
Stability and causality are studied for linear perturbations about equilibrium in Carter's multifluid theory. Our stability analysis is grounded on the requirement that the entropy of the multifluid, plus that of the environment, must be…
Linear and weakly nonlinear stability analyses of an externally shear-imposed, gravity-driven falling film over a uniformly heated wavy substrate are studied. The longwave asymptotic expansion technique is utilized to formulate a single…
The `Rayleigh line' $\mu=\eta^2$, where $\mu=\Omega_o/\Omega_i$ and $\eta=r_i/r_o$ are respectively the rotation and radius ratios between inner (subscript `i') and outer (subscript `o') cylinders, is regarded as marking the limit of…
We investigate the effect of inertial particles on Rayleigh-B\'enard convection using weakly nonlinear stability analysis. In the presence of nonlinear effects, we study the limiting value of growth of instabilities by deriving a cubic…
We give a sufficient condition for the nonlinear stability of steady flows of a two-dimensional ideal fluid in a bounded multiply-connected domain, which generalizes a stability criterion proved by Arnold in the 1960s. The most important…
The dynamics and stability of a fluid-filled hollow cylindrical shell rolling on an inclined plane are analyzed. We study the motion in two dimensions by analyzing the interaction between the fluid and the cylindrical shell. An analytical…
Magneto-rotational instability (MRI) is an important instability mechanism for rotating flows with magnetic fields. In particular, when the strength of the magnetic field tends to zero, the stability criterion for rotating flows is…
We analyze the linear stability of monoclinal traveling waves on a constant incline, which connect uniform flowing regions of differing depths. The classical shallow-water equations are employed, subject to a general resistive drag term.…
The dynamics along the particle trajectories for the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations in an infinite cylinder are considered. It is shown that if the inflow-outflow is rapidly increasing in time, the corresponding laminar profile of the…
The stability of the interface separating two immiscible incompressible fluids of different densities and viscosities is considered in the case of fluids filling a cavity which performs horizontal harmonic oscillation. There exists a simple…
