The paper “The destabilization of shear layers by asymmetric confinement and stratification” authored by Matt Turner has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. The paper provides an extensive study into the absolute and convective stability properties of an inhomogeneous two-dimensional mixing layer when subjected to axisymmetric confinement. The flow is analysed […]
