A Hydrodynamic stability- Rayleigh equation - Couette flow

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on formulating the stability problem for incompressible inviscid Couette flow, where both plates move relative to each other. The user seeks guidance on applying the Rayleigh equation to derive the dispersion relation in this context. References like Chandrasekhar are mentioned, but the user requests more specific suggestions. There is also a brief mention of a book link, highlighting its unexpected price. Overall, the conversation centers on finding resources and methods for analyzing stability in this unique flow scenario.

TL;DR Summary
Folks,
I'm trying to formulate the stability problem in the incompressible inviscid limit and find the dispersion relation in the Couette flow regime. As shown, the 2 infinite plates move one against the other, unlike the "standard" case where one plate is static and the second moves. I'm trying to use the Rayleigh equation but I'm not sure how to do this.

Any references or ideas are welcome :)

If you google ”couette flow stability” plenty of references come up.
 
Should I assume you've already explored references like Chandrasekhar?

No, can you be more specific?
 
Much Appreciated!
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
