Beschreibung:
The hydrodynamic stability of plane Poiseuille flow of second—order fluids to finite amplitude disturbances is examined using the method of Stuart, and Watson as extended by Reynolds & Potter. For slightly non-Newtonian fluids subcritical instabilities are predicted. No supercritical equilibrium states are expected if the entire spectrum of disturbance wavelengths is present. Possible implications with respect to the Toms phenomenon are discussed. © 1972, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
