Summary

This chapter continues the treatment initiated in Chapter 3, focusing on specific flow fields. Hydrodynamic flow stability is a large, rich field and this chapter can only provide a brief introduction to the many fascinating instabilities that arise [1]. For these reasons, attention is specifically focused on high Reynolds number flows and several specific flow configurations of particular significance in combustor systems, including shear layers, wakes, jets, and backward-facing steps.
