An investigation of the stability of viscous channel flow

This thesis focuses on the use of systems theory to study the stability of viscous channel flow. In the first part of the thesis, the flow is modelled as a feedback connection between a linear dynamical subsystem and a memoryless nonlinear subsystem. After discretisation, the system is approximated...
