Abstract
A mechanical analog to the Orr–Sommerfeld equation is presented in the form of a vibrating elastic plate resting on a locally reacting foundation of specific form. In the analog, Reynolds number becomes the cube of the slenderness ratio of the plate. Some aspects of the solutions to the Orr–Sommerfeld equation, as it is applied to boundary layer transition, are interpreted in terms of the analogous system.
