Stability of the Poiseuille Flow in a Channel with Comb Grooves

摘要

The stability of the Poiseuille flow in a channel with longitudinal comb grooves on the lower wall is studied numerically. Dependences of the linear and energy critical Reynolds numbers on the groove spacing and height are obtained and analyzed. The results are compared with data available for wavy grooves, which tend to comb grooves as one of the groove parameters approaches infinity.
