Transient growth in Taylor-Couette flow (2002)
Hristova, Hristina, Roch, Sebastien, Schmid, Peter J., Tuckerman, Laurette S.
Transient growth due to non-normality is investigated for the Taylor-Couette problem with counter-rotating cylinders as a function of aspect ratio eta and Reynolds number Re. For all Re < 500,...
Spectra and Pseudospectra for Pipe Poiseuille Flow (1999)
Anne E. Trefethen, Lloyd N. Trefethen, Wolfson Bldg, Peter J. Schmid
. Numerically computed spectra and pseudospectra are presented for the linear operator that governs the temporal evolution of infinitesimal perturbations of laminar flow in an infinite circular pipe...
Sensitivity Analysis of Hydrodynamic Stability Operators. (1998)
Schmid, Peter J., Henningson, Dan S., Khorrami, Mehdi R., Malik, Mujeeb R.
The eigenvalue sensitivity for hydrodynamic stability operators is investigated. Classical matrix perturbation techniques as well as the concept of epseudoeigenvalues are applied to show that parts...
On Stability of Streamwise Streaks and Transition Thresholds in Plane Channel Flows (1998)
Satish C. Reddy, Peter J. Schmid, Jeffrey S. Baggett, Dan S. Henningson
Streak breakdown caused by a spanwise inflectional instability is one phase of the following transition scenarios, which occur in plane Poiseuille and Couette flow. The streamwise vortex scenario is...
