Non-Modal Three-Dimensional Optimal Perturbation Growth in Thermally Stratified Mixing Layers

A non-modal transient disturbances growth in a stably stratified mixing layer flow is studied numerically. The model accounts for a density gradient within a shear region, implying a heavier layer at the bottom. Numerical analysis of non-modal stability is followed by a full three-dimensional direct...
