內容簡介
The study of hydrodynamic stability goes back to the theoretical work of Helmhoitz (1868), KeMn (1871) and Rayleigh (1879,1880) on inviscid flows and, above all, the experimental investi gations of Reynolds (1883), which initiated the systematic study of viscous shear flows. Reynolds's work stimulated the theoretical investigations of Orr (1907) and Sommerfeld (1908), who inde~pendently considered small, traveling-wave disturbances of an otherwise steady, parallel flow and derived (what is now known as) the Orr-Sommerfeld equation.
