Abstract

This paper investigates the application of the bees algorithm (BA) in finding the neutral stability curve of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation for basic flows between parallel plates. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, determination of neutral stability curve for plane Poiseuille flow is considered as a case study. Some minor modifications have been applied to BA in order to minimize the computational cost. To better assess the effectiveness of the bees algorithm, its results were compared with those of the modified genetic algorithm (MGA). The obtained results confirm the superiority of BA over MGA in terms of the computational cost.
