Two-dimensional Euler flows, in the plane or on simple surfaces, possess a material invariant, namely the scalar vorticity normal to the surface. Consequently, flows with piecewise-uniform vorticity remain that way, and moreover evolve in a…
We study the point spectrum of the linearisation of Euler's equation for the ideal fluid on the torus about a shear flow. By separation of variables the problem is reduced to the spectral theory of a complex Hill's equation. Using Hill's…

In this paper, we studied the long-wave instability of the shear flows. When the wavenumber of perturbation is larger than the critical value, the flow is always neutrally stable. First, we obtain a new upper bound for the neutral…
This work addresses the question of the stability of stratified, spatially periodic shear flows at low P\'eclet number but high Reynolds number. This little-studied limit is motivated by astrophysical systems, where the Prandtl number is…
