Talk:Tollmien–Schlichting wave

So are these modal?
This article is a good start but needs a few basic things added to it:


 * What is the restoring force causing the initial T-S wave to oscillate?


 * What is the linear dispersion relation for these waves? (Is there one?  Are these described by normal mode solutions?) 7daysahead (talk) 18:40, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

What are $$E, u^\prime, v^\prime ...$$
It'd help if the meaning of the variables used in the energy formula were explained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.69.116.163 (talk) 09:00, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
