Talk:Kelvin–Helmholtz instability
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I had always understood that the root cause of the KH instability (as distinct from the the RT instab) was velocity shear NOT density difference. It is indeed the origin of the transition to turbulence in a sheared flow and of the instability of counter-current flow in a pipe. Both cases are straightforwardly analysed in the early pages of classic texts such as Chandrasekhar or Drazin & Reid.
