Abstract

The authors consider problems connected with stability [1–3] and the nonlinear development of perturbations in a plane mixing layer [4–7]. Attention is principally given to the problem of the nonlinear interaction of two-dimensional and three-dimensional perturbations [6, 7], and also to developing the corresponding method of numerical analysis based on the application to problems in the theory of hydrodynamic stability of the Bubnov—Galerkin method [8–14].
