Stability of Fluid Flow through a Channel with Flexible Walls by Marianna A. Shubov, Madeline M. Edwards

“…The main findings of the paper are the following: (i) rigorous formulation of the initial boundary problem for the stream function, ψx,y,t, induced by the fluid-structure interaction model, which takes into account the axisymmetric pattern of the flow and “no-slip” condition near the channel walls; (ii) application of a double integral transformation (the Fourier transformation and Laplace transformation) to both the equation and boundary and initial conditions, which reduces the original partial differential equation to a parameter-dependent ordinary differential equation; (iii) derivation of the explicit formula for the Fourier transform of the stream function, ψ˜k,y,t; (iv) evaluation of the inverse Fourier transform of ψ˜k,y,t and proving that reconstruction of ψx,y,t can be obtained through a limiting process in the complex k-plane, which allows us to use the Residue theorem and represent the solution in the form of an infinite series of residues. …”
