We present a method for accurately determining the stability characteristics of spatially modulated shear layers. The algorithm can handle arbitrary commensurate states, which are …
The effects of small-amplitude, two-dimensional grooves on pressure losses in a laminar channel flow have been analysed. Grooves with an arbitrary shape and an arbitrary …
Optimal shapes of laminar, drag reducing longitudinal grooves in a pressure driven flow have been determined. It has been shown that such shapes can be characterized using …
We demonstrate that the relative motion of horizontal parallel plates can be generated using patterned heating. This movement is driven by nonlinear thermal streaming associated with …
Analysis of convection driven by spatial periodic heating shows a wealth of responses due to Prandtl number dependence. The primary convection is delineated by the heating …
Modal and nonmodal stability analysis of a channel flow with longitudinal riblets are investigated. To this extent, a method based on the coupling between a two-dimensional …
A completely spectral algorithm for analysis of flows over corrugated boundaries is proposed. The algorithm treats the flow problem as an internal rather then a boundary value …
Pressure-gradient-driven flows through sinusoidal channels have been studied. The analysis was carried out up to the formation of secondary nonlinear states and spanned a …

Linear stability of flow in a diverging–converging channel is considered. The flow may develop under either the fixed mass or the fixed pressure gradient constraint. Both cases are …
