Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the linear stability of a gravity-driven fluid with pressure-dependent viscosity flowing down an inclined plane. The linear stability analysis is formulated using the long-wave approximation method. We show that the onset of instability occurs at a critical Reynolds number that depends on the material and geometrical parameters. Our results suggest that the dependence of the viscosity on pressure can influence the stability characteristics of the flow down an incline.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics provides a specific medium for dissemination of high-quality research results in the various areas of theoretical, applied, and experimental mechanics of solids, fluids, structures, and systems where the phenomena are inherently non-linear.
The journal brings together original results in non-linear problems in elasticity, plasticity, dynamics, vibrations, wave-propagation, rheology, fluid-structure interaction systems, stability, biomechanics, micro- and nano-structures, materials, metamaterials, and in other diverse areas.
Papers may be analytical, computational or experimental in nature. Treatments of non-linear differential equations wherein solutions and properties of solutions are emphasized but physical aspects are not adequately relevant, will not be considered for possible publication. Both deterministic and stochastic approaches are fostered. Contributions pertaining to both established and emerging fields are encouraged.
