This study focuses on the investigation of stratified Taylor-Couette flow using non-modal analysis, exploring the dynamics of perturbations under different temperature conditions. The study highlights the correlation between flow configurations and emphasizes the similarity in transient dynamics. It also examines the subcritical effects of thermal stratification on disturbance dynamics.
This study focuses on the investigation of stratified Taylor-Couette flow (STCF) using non-modal analysis, which has received relatively limited attention compared to other shear flows. The dynamics of perturbations under different temperature conditions are explored, and their patterns of amplification are analyzed. The study highlights the correlation between flow configurations, emphasizing the similarity in transient dynamics despite different speed ratios. The subcritical effects of thermal stratification on disturbance dynamics are examined, considering the interplay between viscous and buoyancy effects counteracted by strong centrifugal forces. It is found that increasing the wall temperature beyond a critical value leads to buoyancy forces dominating, resulting in a linear increase in the amplification factor. The research reveals significant deviations from previous results, indicating the significant role of temperature stratification.
