Computational study of the stability of annular Couette-Poiseuille flow to axisymmetric travelling wave perturbations

This thesis considers the axisymmetric stability of a flow, subject to an axial pressure gradient, between concentric sliding cylinders, or annular Couette-Poiseuille flow (ACPF). The flow geometry and governing equations are set out and we analyse the linear and nonlinear stability of ACPF for a ra...
