Linear stability analysis for the differentially heated rotating annulus

We use linear stability analysis to approximate the axisymmetric to nonaxisymmetric transition in the differentially heated rotating annulus. We study an accurate mathematical model that uses the Navier-Stokes equations in the Boussinesq approximation. The steady axisymmetric solution satisfies a tw...
