Buoyancy-driven algebraic (localised) boundary-layer disturbances

Abstract: We show that a new class of steady linear eigenmodes exist in the Falkner–Skan boundary layer, associated with an algebraically developing, thermally coupled three-dimensional perturbation that remains localised in the spanwise direction. The dominant mode has a weak temperature difference that decays (algebraically) downstream, but remains sufficient (for favourable pressure gradients that are below a critical level) to drive an algebraically growing disturbance in the velocity field. We determine the critica… Show more
