This article reviews linear instability analysis of flows over or through complex two-
dimensional (2D) and 3D geometries. In the three decades since it first appeared in the …

The viscous linear stability of four classes of incompressible flows inside rectangular
containers is studied numerically. In the first class the instability of flow through a rectangular …

The present thesis constitutes a step forward in advancing the frontiers of knowledge of fluid
flow instability from a physical point of view, as a consequence of having been successful in …

The topology of the composite flow fields reconstructed by linear superposition of a two-
dimensional boundary layer flow with an embedded laminar separation bubble and its …

There are books and monographs available on this subject, including one where the present
author collaborated in producing lecture notes on wider topics. Despite the availability of …

A unified solution framework is presented for one-, two-or three-dimensional complex non-
symmetric eigenvalue problems, respectively governing linear modal instability of …

This paper presents a review of theoretical and experimental results on stability and other
unsteady properties of aircraft wakes. The basic mechanisms responsible for the …

The hydrodynamic stability of the flow in a solid rocket motor is revisited using a general
linear stability approach. A harmonic perturbation is introduced into the linearized Navier …

Modal global linear stability analysis of thermal convection is performed with the linearized
lattice Boltzmann method (LLBM). The onset of Rayleigh–Bénard convection in rectangular …

The combination of iterative Krylov-based eigenvalue algorithms and direct numerical
simulations (DNS) has proven itself an effective and robust tool in solving complex global …
