1: 9.16 Physical Applications
A quite different application is made in the study of the diffraction of sound pulses by a circular cylinder (Friedlander (1958)). … In the study of the stability of a two-dimensional viscous fluid, the flow is governed by the OrrSommerfeld equation (a fourth-order differential equation). …
