Absolute and convective instabilities of two-dimensional bluff body wakes in ground effect

Local and global instabilities are investigated of wakes of general two-dimensional bluff bodies placed near and parallel to a plane boundary or ground. A spatio-temporal linear stability analysis is first applied to a four-parameter family of local wake profiles to investigate the fundamental local...
