In this paper, we study random dissipative weak solutions of the compressible Euler equations in the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability. Motivated by the fact that weak entropy solutions are not unique and can be viewed as inviscid limits of…

Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability plays a significant role in transport and mixing properties of any medium. In this paper, we numerically explore this instability for a two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasma with rotational shear…
