How to Determine the Stability Condition in Couette Flow?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on determining the stability condition in Couette flow, specifically with two moving plates. The user seeks assistance in performing a stability analysis, mentioning the need to expand around the unperturbed solution and linearize the Navier-Stokes equations. There is a suggestion to utilize the Rayleigh equation due to the incompressible inviscid limit. The conversation highlights the technical aspects of stability analysis in fluid dynamics. Overall, the focus is on applying theoretical principles to solve the problem at hand.

Do you have a general idea on how to do the stability analysis? Basically it's expanding around the un-perturbed given solution and linearizing the NS equations.

HI,
I assume I have to use the rayleigh equation because of the incompressible inviscid limit.
 

Thread 'Help with derivation of electric field of a moving charge'

At first, I derived that: $$\nabla \frac 1{\mu}=-\frac 1{{\mu}^3}\left((1-\beta^2)+\frac{\dot{\vec\beta}\cdot\vec R}c\right)\vec R$$ (dot means differentiation with respect to ##t'##). I assume this result is true because it gives valid result for magnetic field. To find electric field one should also derive partial derivative of ##\vec A## with respect to ##t##. I've used chain rule, substituted ##\vec A## and used derivative of product formula. $$\frac {\partial \vec A}{\partial t}=\frac...
