Sd. Danilov et al., A FLOW IN A SYSTEM OF ELLIPTIC VORTICES - THE LINEAR-STABILITY PROBLEM, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 32(6), 1996, pp. 777-782
The linear stability problem for a system of elliptic vortices was app
roached. Neutral stability curves for a system consisting of 4, 16, 36
, and 64 vortices were constructed. A comparison was carried out of th
e spatial configuration of a real flow upon a loss of stability with a
flow presenting the combination of the basic flow and an unstable mod
e.
