Spatial linear disturbances in a plane wall jet
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A two-dimensional direct numerical simulation study of the linear instability in a laminar plane wall jet is presented. The evolution of the wall jet disturbances is in reasonable agreement with predictions by spatial linear stability theory only with regard to the wavelength and the amplitude shape of the disturbance, whereas significant differences in the linear growth rate are noticed. As a consequence, the “stable island” on the instability map based on linear stability theory turns out to be connected with the outer stable region in the simulations, thus taking the form of a “stable peninsula”. The failure of the theory is attributed to the rapid streamwise spread and decay of the wall jet, which is incompatible with the assumption of parallel flow. We also assess the maximum possible transient linear amplification of two-dimensional disturbances in the plane wall jet, using the concept of optimal initial disturbances. The transient energy growth relies on the Orr mechanism, and the upper bound of the disturbance energy increases linearly in time for the present flow configuration. The optimal disturbances exhibit local maxima near the edge of the jet and close to the wall, where sites of effective receptivity are hence expected. We find that the outer region of the plane wall jet is more receptive to time periodic forcing than the inner region.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
