This article reviews linear instability analysis of flows over or through complex two-
dimensional (2D) and 3D geometries. In the three decades since it first appeared in the …

A summary is presented of physical insights gained into three-dimensional linear instability
through solution of the two-dimensional partial-differential-equation-based nonsymmetric …

The goal of this paper is to provide a perspective on the current status and future directions
for active flow-control technology with particular emphasis on oscillatory control. This is not a …

We analyse the three–dimensional non–parallel instability mechanisms responsible for
transition to turbulence in regions of recirculating steady laminar two–dimensional …

The viscous linear stability of four classes of incompressible flows inside rectangular
containers is studied numerically. In the first class the instability of flow through a rectangular …

The lid-driven cavity is an important fluid mechanical system serving as a benchmark for
testing numerical methods and for studying fundamental aspects of incompressible flows in …

This article contains a review of modal stability theory. It covers local stability analysis of
parallel flows including temporal stability, spatial stability, phase velocity, group velocity …

An overview of some recent advances in simulation, modeling, and control of flow/acoustic
resonance in flows over open cavities is provided. A wide variety of experiments utilizing …

The present thesis constitutes a step forward in advancing the frontiers of knowledge of fluid
flow instability from a physical point of view, as a consequence of having been successful in …

A series of time-dependent three-dimensional (3D) computations of a lid-driven flow in a
cube with no-slip boundaries is performed to find the critical Reynolds number …
