A Physical Interpretation of the Wind-Wave Instability as Interacting Waves in: Journal of
Physical Oceanography Volume 47 Issue 6 (2017) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Instability in homogeneous and density stratified shear flows may be interpreted in terms of
the interaction of two (or more) otherwise free waves in the velocity and density profiles …

The equilibration of a symmetrically unstable density front is examined using linear stability
theory and nonlinear numerical simulations. The initial state, chosen to approximate …

Wave interaction theory can be used as a tool to understand and predict instability in a
variety of homogeneous and stratified shear flows. It is, however, most often limited to …

Vertically Sheared Horizontal Flow-Forming Instability in Stratified Turbulence: Analytical
Linear Stability Analysis of Statistical State Dynamics Equilibria in: Journal of the …

We used a compound matrix method to integrate the Orr–Sommerfeld equation in an
investigation of short instability waves (λ< 6 cm) on the coupled shear flow at the air–sea …

The stability of the wind-driven ocean circulation to finite amplitude perturbations is
explored. Sufficient conditions for stability, in the kinetic energy norm, are determined for …

One interpretation of the mechanism of instability in stratified shear flows is based on the
idea that two independently propagating waves may interact to cause mutual growth in one …

Instabilities are present in all natural fluids from rivers to atmospheres. This book considers
the physical processes that generate instability. Part I describes the normal mode …

Simultaneous profiles of microstructure, horizontal velocity, and acoustic backscatter allow
one of the most complete descriptions of a naturally occurring shear instability to date. Shear …
