Includes bibliographical references (leaves 106-112). The Orr-Sommerfeld equation describes the growth of infinitesimal disturbances to laminar solutions of the Newtonaian Navier-Stokes equations. In this dissertation we consides in part idealised flows between two parallel planes of infinite extent and a finite distance apart. They are referred to as closed channel flows. 2014-07-31T08:11:07Z 2014-07-31T08:11:07Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4940 eng application/pdf Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
