The miles theorem and new particular solutions to the Taylor–Goldstein equation

详细

The direct Lyapunov method is used to prove the absolute linear instability of steadystate plane-parallel shear flows of an inviscid stratified incompressible fluid in the gravity field with respect to plane perturbations both in the Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq approximations. A strict description is given for the applicability of the known necessary condition for linear instability of steady-state plane-parallel shear flows of an ideal nonuniform (by density) incompressible fluid in the gravity field both in the Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq approximations (the Miles theorem). Analytical examples of illustrative character are constructed.
