Abstract: This introduction to nonlinear systems is written for students of fluid mechanics, so connections are made throughout the text to familiar fluid flow systems. The aim is to present how nonlinear systems are qualitatively ...

Abstract: The global linear stability, where we assume no homogeneity in either of the spatial directions, of a twodimensional laminar base flow through a spatially periodic converging–diverging channel is studied at low Reynolds ...

Abstract: Earlier studies on the circular hydraulic jump have shown that the radial position of the hydraulic jump depends on the flow rate, gravity, and fluid viscosity. In this study, results from numerical simulations and experiments ...
