- ItemOpen AccessA numerical investigation of the linear hydrodynamic stability of Newtonian and weakly non-Newtonian channel flows as described by the Orr-Sommerfeld equation(2009) Van der Fort, Zareer; Laurie, H; Myers, Timothy GThe Orr-Sommerfeld equation describes the growth of infinitesimal disturbances to laminar solutions of the Newtonaian Navier-Stokes equations. In this dissertation we consides in part idealised flows between two parallel planes of infinite extent and a finite distance apart. They are referred to as closed channel flows.
