This class of flows includes wakes, jets, boundary layers and shear layers (e.g., Figures 3.2 and 3.3). Parallel shear flows are the simplest class of flows exhibiting the phenomenon of shear instability, in which a fluid is unstable because of spatial variations in its velocity. Here we will look at shear instability in its most basic form, free of complications due to viscosity, diffusion, buoyancy, or planetary rotation. We’ll need to solve an ordinary differential equation, the Rayleigh equation. This can be done analytically for some simple examples (section 3.3), but we’ll also make frequent use of the numerical methods introduced in Chapter 1. Not every parallel shear flow is unstable. We’ll prove a simple theorem that often allows us to identify stable cases without solving any equations. Even in an unstable flow, not all types of disturbances grow, so we’ll prove two additional results that allow us to distinguish those that do. Besides developing the needed mathematical theory, we will seek an intuitive understanding of the mechanism of shear instability. This latter goal is considerably more challenging than in the previous case of convection.","PeriodicalId":276093,"journal":{"name":"Instability in Geophysical Flows","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127785069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
