About this document
Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Analysis by Ratovoarisoa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides a summary of the Kelvin-Helmholz instability that can occur at the interface between two fluids with continuous shear and density stratification. It describes the instability through heuristic reasoning and a linearized instability theory. The key results are: 1) Heuristically, instability will occur if the available kinetic energy from exchanging fluid parcels exceeds the work needed to overcome gravity, or if the Richardson number is less than 1/4. 2) Through a linearized analysis
