Linear instability of asymmetric Poiseuille flows

We compute solutions for the Orr-Sommerfeld equations for the case of an asymmetric Poiseuille-like parallel flow. The calculations show that very small asymmetry has little effect on the prediction for linear instability of Poiseuille-like flow but that moderate asymmetry, such as found in channel...
