ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TAYLOR INSTABILITY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4313872

ABS>The history of the flow for an incompressible, inviscid fluid contained in a semi-infinite space and impressed with an infinitesinal disturbance is described in an approximate way for a certain class of simple initial conditions. The theory contains, as limiting cases, the linear theory and the steady-state theory of Davies and Taylor. (J.S.R.)
