Stability Analysis of Fluid Flows Using Lagrangian Perturbation Theory (LPT): Application to the Plane Couette Flow
We present a new application of Lagrangian Perturbation Theory (LPT): the stability analysis of fluid flows. As a test case that demonstrates the framework we focus on the plane Couette flow. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is recast such that the particle position is the fundamental varia...
