Neutral Rayleigh-mode dispersion correction

ID: neutral-rayleigh-mode-dispersion-correction

Let , , and . The Wronskian identity for the first-order Rayleigh equation for inviscid shear flow, combined with neutral-mode critical-layer matching, gives . For real , its imaginary part is . The Cauchy principal value is necessary when the outer forcing has a simple real pole.
