Abstract

The Reynolds-Orr energy equation for polar fluids is derived in a form that allows consideration of all possible disturbances of a basic polar fluid motion. The equation is used to identify those properties of a basic polar fluid motion which foster the growth of a disturbance. The analysis reveals the physical significance of the material coefficients which describe a polar fluid. A universal stability criterion is obtained for arbitrary nonlinear disturbances in bounded domains.
