Nonlinear Effects in Hydrodynamic Stability,
Abstract
The interest in the analysis of nonlinear effects is motivated by examples of insufficient agreement between observation and results of the linear theory for the prototypes of Taylor-Couette flow and plane Poiseuille flow. The principal methods of the analysis of nonlinear problems are characterized. The weakly nonlinear theory for a single normal mode and the calculation and use of high-order landau constants is discussed. A survey is given on weakly nonlinear models of observed phenomena.
