The stability of pipe Poiseuille flow with respect to linear azimuthally periodic disturbances is investigated. It is found that many radial modes of disturbance exist for each azimuthal periodicity. No linear instability is found for the mode sets with azimuthal periodicity of one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
