This article deals with the Hadamard instability of the so-called $\mu(I)$ model of dense rapidly-sheared granular flow, as reported recently by Barker et al. (2015,this journal, ${\bf 779}$, 794-818). The present paper presents a more…
Because different constraints are imposed, stability conditions for dissipationless fluids and magnetofluids may take different forms when derived within the Lagrangian, Eulerian (energy-Casimir), or dynamical accessible frameworks. This is…
