Degenerating Orr-Sommerfeld eigenmodes and development of three-dimensional perturbations

Degeneracies of temporally damped Orr-Sommerfeld eigenmodes are studied primarily for plane Poiseuille flow. The discrete spectrum of the eigenmodes is shown to possess infinitely many degeneracies, each appearing at a certain combination of k (the modulus of resultant wavenumber) and α R (the strea...
