Book of Donmon Teith

A detailed look at some of the more modern issues of hydrodynamic stability, including transient growth, eigenvalue spectra, secondary instability. It presents

Develops a physical theory from the mass of experimental results, with revisions to reflect advances of recent years.

Starting from fundamentals of classical stability theory, an overview is given of the transition phenomena in subsonic, wall-bounded shear flows. At first, the

A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the exte

The present book contains papers that have been selected from contributions to the First International Symposium on Turbulent Shear Flows which was held from th
