Upper Branch Nonstationary Modes Of The Boundary Layer Due To A Rotating Disk

Abstract

A treatment of asymptotic calculation of upper branch nonstationary instsability modes is undertaken in the boundary layer flow due to a. rotating disk. A numerical spectral solution of the eigenvalue problem shows good agreement with the results of a rational asymptotic approach, based on the extension of the multideck theory of [1].
