 This notebook solves the longwave stability problem for two-layer, pressure driven channel flow. Through this example, the method for using a regular perturbation technique to solve a differential eigenvalue problem, with boundary conditions, is demonstrated.

The zeroth and first order terms for the wave velocity for a pressure driven channel flow are obtained from a long wave expansion. All of the necessary manipulations are shown for this direct perturbation solution method.
