Abstract:
The spatial stability of similarity solutions for an incompressible fluid flowing along a channel with porous walls and driven by constant uniform suction along the walls is analyzed. This work extends the results of Durlofsky and Brady [Phys. Fluids 27, 1068 (1984)] to a wider class of similarity solutions, and examines the spatial stability of small amplitude perturbations of arbitrary shape, generated at the entrance of the channel. It is found that antisymmetric perturbations are the best candidates to destabilize the solutions. Temporally stable asymmetric solutions with flow reversal presented by Zaturska, Drazin, and Banks [Fluid Dyn. Res. 4, 151 (1988)] are found to be spatially unstable. The perturbed similarity solutions are also compared with fully bidimensional ones obtained with a finite difference code. The results confirm the importance of similarity solutions and the validity of the stability analysis in a region whose distance to the center of the channel is more than three times the channel half-width. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
