In this paper, we study the structurally nonlinear stability of supersonic contact discontinuities in three-dimensional compressible isentropic steady flows. Based on the weakly linear stability result and the $L^2$-estimates obtained by…
Supersonic shear layers experience instabilities that generate significant adverse effects; in complex configurations, these instabilities have global impacts as they foster compounding complications with other independent flow features. We…

We study an instability of thin liquid-vapor layers bounded by rigid parallel walls from both below and above. In this system, the interfacial instability is induced by lateral vapor pressure fluctuation, which is in turn attributed to the…
We investigate the first sound of a normal dilute and ultracold two-component Fermi gas in a harmonic microtube, i.e. a cylinder with harmonic transverse radial confinement in the length-scale of microns. We show that the velocity of the…
Transient Navies--Stokes equations for laminar flow of incompressible fluid in a channel with permeable wall are reduced to a single equation for the transversal profile of longitudinal flow velocity. Small--amplitude harmonic perturbation…

Flow instabilities within a fluid flow can cause laminar-to-turbulent transition over surfaces. These instabilities can result from upstream, wake-generating disturbances, leading to increased drag and turbulence-induced energy losses. Flow…
We develop a new scaling theory for the resistive tearing mode instability of a current sheet with a strong shear flow across the layer. The growth rate decreases with increasing flow shear and is completely stabilized as the shear flow…
