On the weakly non-linear evolution of Tollmien-Schlichting waves in shear flow
The thesis essentially consists of two parts. In the first part we consider the evolution of weakly non-linear, modulated disturbances in marginally unstable systems, and address the question of when the Ginzburg-Landau equation is relevant in describing such systems. In the second, we consider seco...
