dc.description.abstractThe 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.en_ZA
