Part 3, Hydrodynamic Stability 2004

This part of the course treats the hydrodynamic stability of fluid flows, i.e. methods to assess whether a given fluid state will remain or whether it is likely that small disturbances always present in a real flow situation will grow and take the fluid into another, usually turbulent state.

Detailed schedule, times and dates.
