| Abstract: | The stability of advective flow in a rotating infinite horizontal fluid layer with rigid bound-aries is investigated for a small Prandtl number Pr = 0.1 and various Taylor numbers for perturbations of the hydrodynamic type. Within the framework of the linear theory of stability, neutral curves describing the dependence of the critical Grashof number on the wave number are obtained. The behavior of finite-amplitude perturbations beyond the stability threshold is studied numerically.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, 2005, pp. 29–38.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Schwarz. |
