We prove that the least stabilizing perturbations, in the energy norm, are the two-dimensional spanwise perturbations. This result implies a Squire theorem for monotone nonlinear energy stability. Moreover, for Reynolds numbers less than the critical Reynolds number $R_E $ there can be no transient energy growth.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-23T05:36:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "76E05", "76S05" ], "keywords": [ "monotone energy stability", "poiseuille flow", "porous medium", "monotone nonlinear energy stability", "transient energy growth" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
