This invaluable book presents a concise but systematic account of the formation of spatial flow structures in a horizontal fluid layer heated from below. Flows of this type, known as Rayleigh-Bénard convection, show important features of behaviour inherent not only in various hydrodynamic-instability phenomena but also in nonlinear pattern-forming processes in other contexts. The book describes ...
A nice book for people working in Taylor-Couette flow
This book reports a variety of stationary solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations that model the Taylor-Couette flow viz flow of a fluid contained in the gap of two rotating cylinders. These results are mainly due to the author and her collaborators published in various journals. This book is for ...
This book presents a systematic and unified approach to the nonlinear stability problem and transitions in the Couette-Taylor problem, by the means of analytic and constructive methods. The most "elementary" one-parameter theory is first presented with great detail. More complex situations are then analyzed (mode interactions, imperfections, non-spatially periodic patterns). The whole analysis is ...
This book describes the research done on the problems of Bénard convection, its modern offspring the RayleighSHBénard problem, and Taylor vortices. Both problems are classical examples in the theory of hydrodynamic stability and share many features. While linear theory describing the onset of instability for both problems is practically completed, nonlinear problems are at the forefront of ...
This treatise covers classical and modern aspects of the fundamental topic of hydrodynamic stability. It considers linear and nonlinear situations, and analyzes temporal and spatial aspects. The authors examine each problem analytically and every chapter ends with an appendix outlining full direct numerical simulation computer code. The text is enriched with many exercises, illustrations and an ...
This book presents five sets of pedagogical lectures by internationally respected researchers on nonlinear instabilities and the transition to turbulence in hydrodynamics. The book begins with a general introduction to hydrodynamics covering fluid properties, flow measurement, dimensional analysis and turbulence. Chapter two reviews the special characteristics of instabilities in open flows. ...
This book is a detailed look at some of the more modern issues of hydrodynamic stability, including transient growth, eigenvalue spectra, secondary instability. Analytical results and numerical simulations, linear and (selected) nonlinear stability methods will be presented. By including classical results as well as recent developments in the field of hydrodynamic stability and transition, the ...
This book is a unique compilation of experimental data, theoretical models, and computer simulations of flow past circular cylinders. The circular cylinder is the most widely used shape in engineering, making appearances in aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, nuclear, off-shore, and wind engineering. The book will be useful to postgraduates and practicing engineers in those ...
This book is an outstanding and accurate treatise on hydrodynamic stability. I've never read any scientific article concerning hydro and fluid dynamic stability without a reference to this book. Thus let's deal with fluid dynamic stability with this precious and absolute masterpiece at hand!
