Introduction

Open Shear Flows: Fluid particles enter and leave the domain
of interest in a finite time without being recycled

Comments
For flows which are invariant under Galilean transformation this
distinction doesnt make sense, but if we can single out a lab frame
then it holds true.

The impulse response is then a decaying wavepacket.
The flow is linearly unstable if :

Global Analysis
To view stability of flows from a global perspective:
I There should be two distinct scales for the flow i.e. a typical
instability wavelength and a length scale characterizing the
streamwise non-uniformity of the flow say L, such that
= << 1
L
I A consistent WKBJ should be implemented for governing
equations linearized around the streamwise developing basic
flow U = U(y ; X )ex + V (y ; X )ey , where X = x, both
V (y ; X ) and U(y ; X ) are assumed O(1).
I To simplify formulation, the flow is taken to be inviscid and
governed by the two dimensional vorticity equation:
(

The spatial distribution function (y ; X ) is expanded as:

Thus, the ansatz used here is valid only for a parallel and steady
base flow.
