- The paper gives a numerical computation of the stability of rotating boundary-layer flows within an oncoming axial inflow and temperature-dependent viscosity, with implications for the design of semiconductor and graphite sheets in the electronics industry. The article builds on previous work for flat-plate boundary-layer flow and develops a robust growth-rate and eigenfunction energy analysis for the first time in this family of problems, which forms the basis for current articles in preparation by the authors. Furthermore, it has seeded industrial interaction with Aixtron, Germany on the operation of their BM300 Chemical Vapour Deposition system.
