Abstract
Abstract The linear stability of plane Poiseuille flow through a finite-length channel is studied. A weakly divergence-free basis finite element method with streamline upwind Petrov–Galerkin (SUPG) stabilization is used to formulate the weak form of the problem. The linear stability characteristics are studied under three possible inlet–outlet boundary conditions, and the corresponding perturbation kinetic energy transfer mechanisms are investigated. Active transfer of perturbation kinetic energy at the channel inlet and outlet, energy production due to convection and dissipation at the flow bulk provide a new perspective in understanding the distinct stability characteristics of plane Poiseuille flow under various boundary conditions.
