Domain reduction strategy for the stability analysis of complex aerodynamic flows

Stability analysis in the framework of fluid dynamics is often expressed in terms of a complex eigenvalue problem (EVP). The solution of this EVP describes underlying flow features and their stability characteristics. The main shortcoming of this approach is the high computational cost necessary to solve the EVP, limiting the applicability of this analysis to simple two-dimensional configurations. Many efforts have been focused on overcoming this limitation.
