On ice-induced instability in free-surface flows. [PDF]
, 2007 The problem of stability of a water-coated ice layer is investigated for a free-surface flow of a thin water film down an inclined plane. An asymptotic (double-deck) theory is developed for a flow with large Reynolds and Froude numbers which is then used

Reduced description of exact coherent states in parallel shear flows [PDF]
, 2015 A reduced description of exact coherent structures in the transition regime of plane parallel shear flows is developed, based on the Reynolds number scaling of streamwise-averaged (mean) and streamwise-varying (fluctuation) velocities observed in ...

A PURE HYDRODYNAMIC INSTABILITY IN SHEAR FLOWS AND ITS APPLICATION TO ASTROPHYSICAL ACCRETION DISKS
, 2016 We provide a possible resolution for the century-old problem of hydrodynamic shear flows, which are apparently stable in linear analysis but shown to be turbulent in astrophysically observed data and experiments.

Hydrodynamic shielding induced stability of zipping macromolecules in elongational flows
, 1994 Enhanced shear stability of associating polymers during drag reduction observed recently has been attributed to the breakage of reversible associations (e.g., hydrogen bonds) in preference to covalent bonds in the polymer backbone.

On the Nonlinear Stability of Inviscid Homogeneous Shear Flows in Sea Straits of Arbitrary Cross Sections [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we study the nonlinear stability of steady flows of inviscid homogeneous fluids in sea straits of arbitrary cross sections. We use the method of Arnol'd [1] to obtain two general stability theorems for steady basic flows with respect to ...

Experiments on a barotropic rotating shear layer. Part 1. Instability and steady vortices [PDF]
, 1999 The barotropic shear layer in a rotating fluid is studied in a laboratory experiment. Through the rotation of circular sections in the base and lid of a circular tank relative to a background rotation of the entire system, a vertical layer of strong ...

Hydrodynamic instabilities in shear flows of dry cohesive granular particles [PDF]
, 2015 We extend the dynamic van der Waals model introduced by A. Onuki [Phys. Rev. Lett., 2005, 94, 054501] to the description of cohesive granular flows under a plane shear to study their hydrodynamic instabilities.

The effects of passive wall porosity on the linear stability of boundary layers [PDF]
A two-dimensional and quasi three-dimensional model has been developed which enables the stability characteristics of laminar boundary layer flows over porous surfaces to be evaluated.
