Three dimensional aspects of symmetric instability

Three dimensional aspects of symmetric instability are investigated using analytic and numerical techniques. The linear stability of a balanced flow with constant vertical shear is studied. In the inviscid case the fastest growing mode is the symmetric mode which is oriented parallel to the basic st...
