Analyzing the sensitivity of these flows to harmonic and subharmonic perturbations may be done by linearizing the governing equations about a time-periodic solution. For example, the recently introduced harmonic resolvent framework allows to study the linear input-output behavior of the flow at integer-multiples of the fundamental frequency of the periodic base flow.
Here, we show how the harmonic resolvent analysis can be extended to study the linear input-output response of the flow to perturbations that oscillate at a subharmonic of the fundamental frequency. In particular, we compute the singular value decomposition of the harmonic transfer function (Wereley, 1991) evaluated at the subharmonic frequency of interest. The leading right and left singular vectors identify the dominant input-output spatio-temporal flow structures, while the leading singular value measures the overall sensitivity of the flow to forcing at the subharmonic frequency under consideration.
We demonstrate this analysis on a forced incompressible axisymmetric jet under conditions for which vortex pairing is observed.
