Wave interaction theory can be used as a tool to understand and predict instability in a variety of homogeneous and stratified shear flows. It is however, most often limited to piecewise-linear profiles of the shear layer background…

Holmboe (1962) postulated that resonant interaction between two or more progressive, linear interfacial waves produces exponentially growing instabilities in idealized (broken-line profiles), homogeneous or density stratified, inviscid…

Theoretical studies on linear shear instabilities often use simple velocity and density profiles (e.g. constant, piecewise) for obtaining good qualitative and quantitative predictions of the initial disturbances. Furthermore, such simple…

A central mechanism of linearised two dimensional shear instability can be described in terms of a nonlinear, action-at-a-distance, phase-locking resonance between two vorticity waves which propagate counter to their local mean flow as well…

Using simple kinematics, we propose a general theory of linear wave interactions between the interfacial waves of a two dimensional (2D), inviscid, multi-layered fluid system. The strength of our formalism is that one does not have to…

The linear stability of a stratified shear flow for smooth density profiles is studied. This work focuses on the nature of the stability boundaries of flows in which both Kelvin-Helmholtz and Holmboe instabilities are present. For a fixed…

A linearly unstable, sinusoidal $E \times B$ shear flow is examined in the gyrokinetic framework in both the linear and nonlinear regimes. In the linear regime, it is shown that the eigenmode spectrum is nearly identical to hydrodynamic…

We analyze the linear stability of monoclinal traveling waves on a constant incline, which connect uniform flowing regions of differing depths. The classical shallow-water equations are employed, subject to a general resistive drag term.…

In this work, we study the nonlinear traveling waves in density stratified fluids with depth varying shear currents. Beginning the formulation of the water-wave problem due to [1], we extend the work of [4] and [18] to examine the interface…

We use a simple physical model to study the nonlinear behaviour of the r-mode instability. We assume that r-modes (Rossby waves) are excited in a thin spherical shell of rotating incompressible fluid. For this case, exact Rossby wave…

We develop a weakly nonlinear model to study the spatiotemporal manifestation and the dynamical behavior of surface waves in the presence of an underlying interfacial solitary wave in a two-layer fluid system. We show that interfacial…

We study here the propagation of long waves in the presence of vorticity. In the irrotational framework, the Green-Naghdi equations (also called Serre or fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations) are the standard model for the propagation of…

Large-scale Rossby waves have recently been discovered from measurements of horizontal surface and near-surface solar flows (L\"optien at al. 2018). We are interested in understanding why only the sectoral modes are seen in the observations…

We investigate nonlinear periodic and solitary two-dimensional rolling waves in a falling two-layer liquid film in the regime of non-zero Reynolds numbers. At any flow rate, a falling two-layer liquid film is known to be linearly unstable…

The hydrodynamic stability behaviour of a two-layer falling film is explored with a floating flexible plate on the top surface. The stress balance at the surface is modeled using a modified membrane equation. There is an insoluble…

Here we have considered the effects of shallowness of the domain as well as the air-water free surface on the stratified shear instabilities of the fluid underneath. First, we numerically solve the non-Boussinesq Taylor-Goldstein equation…

The Rossby wave instability in astrophysical disks is as a potentially important mechanism for driving angular momentum transport in disks. We aim to understand this instability in an approximate three-dimensional disk model environment…

Direct numerical simulations are conducted to study the receptivity and transition mechanisms in a solitary wave boundary layer developing over randomly organized wave-like bottom topography. The boundary layer flow shows a selective…

We investigate the weakly nonlinear dynamics of transient gravity waves at infinite depth under the influence of a shear current varying linearly with depth. An analytical solution is permitted via integration of the Euler equations.…

In this paper, we examine in detail the principal branches of solutions that arise in vector discrete models with nonlinear inter-component coupling and four wave mixing. The relevant four branches of solutions consist of two single mode…
