Linear and Weakly Nonlinear Instability of Shallow Mixing Layers with Variable Friction

Linear and weakly nonlinear instability of shallow mixing layers is analysed in the present paper. It is assumed that the resistance force varies in the transverse direction. Linear stability problem is solved numerically using collocation method. It is shown that the increase in the ratio of the fr...
