Abstract

The linear analysis of stability of a plane-parallel time-periodic flow is carried out. The numerical method which makes it possible to reduce the spectral problem for the time-dependent Orr–Sommerfeld equation to an algebraic eigenvalue problem is used. The film of viscous conducting liquid which flows down a vertical wall in the normal electric field is considered and parametric resonances are revealed.
