Membrane flutter induced by radiation of surface gravity waves on a uniform flow

Abstract
We consider stability of an elastic membrane being on the bottom of a uniform horizontal flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of finite depth with free surface. The membrane is simply supported at the leading and the trailing edges which attach it to the two parts of the horizontal rigid floor. The membrane has an infinite span in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the flow and a finite length in the direction of the flow. For the membrane of infinite length we derive a full dispersion relation that is valid for arbitrary depth of the fluid layer and find conditions for the flutter of the membrane due to emission of surface gravity waves. We describe this radiation-induced instability by means of the perturbation theory of the roots of the dispersion relation and the concept of negative energy waves and discuss its relation to the anomalous Doppler effect.
