Abstract

The mechanisms leading to large transient growth of disturbances for the flow in a channel with compliant walls are investigated. The walls are modelled as thin spring-backed plates, and the flow dynamics is modelled using the Navier–Stokes equations linearized round the Poiseuille profile. Analysis for streamwise invariant perturbations show that this fluid-structure system can sustain oscillatory energy evolution of large amplitude, in the form of spanwise standing waves. Such waves are related to the travelling waves which a free wall can support, modified to account for an ‘added mass’ effect. Simple scaling arguments are found to provide results in excellent agreement with computations of optimal disturbances, for low-to-moderate values of the stiffness parameter characterizing the compliant surface.

Movie 1. Time evolution of the optimal initial conditions, for Re=1000, wavelength 2 π, and four different spring stifnesses K. The streamwise velocity perturbation is represented by the color map, whereas the inplane velocity is made visible using particles tracers. The arbitrary wall deformation and particle movement amplitudes are scaled such as to give a clear visual impression of the flow motion.
