For a wide class of linear Hamiltonian operators we develop a general criterion that characterizes the unstable eigenvalues as the zeros of a holomorphic function given by the determinant of a finite-dimensional matrix. We apply the latter…

Marginal stability arguments are used to describe the rotation-number dependence of torque in Taylor-Couette (TC) flow for radius ratios $\eta \geq 0.9$ and shear Reynolds number $Re_S=2\times 10^4$. With an approximate representation of…

In this paper, we obtain the optimal instability threshold of the Couette flow for Navier-Stokes equations with small viscosity $\nu>0$, when the perturbations are in the critical spaces $H^1_xL_y^2$. More precisely, we introduce a new…

It is well known that all rotating perfect fluid stars in general relativity are unstable to certain non-axisymmetric perturbations via the Chandrasekhar-Friedman-Schutz (CFS) instability. However, the mechanism of the CFS instability…

It is known that in a hydrodynamic Taylor-Couette system uniform rotation or a rotation law with positive shear ('super-rotation') are linearly stable. It is also known that a conducting fluid under the presence of a sufficiently strong…

We carry out a general study of the stability of astrophysical flows that appear steady in a uniformly rotating frame. Such a flow might correspond to a stellar pulsation mode or an accretion disk with a free global distortion giving it…

We show possibility of the Plane Couette (PC) flow instability for Reynolds number Re>Reth=140. This new result of the linear hydrodynamic stability theory is obtained on the base of refusal from the traditionally used assumption on…

We study the magnetorotational instability in cylindrical Taylor-Couette flow, with the (vertically unbounded) cylinders taken to be perfect conductors, and with externally imposed spiral magnetic fields. The azimuthal component of this…

Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…

Mean flow effects are discussed for two different pattern-forming systems: Rayleigh-Benard convection and Faraday instability in viscous fluid. In both systems spirals are observed in certain parameter regions. In the Rayleigh-Benard…

The magnetorotational instability (MRI) in cylindrical Taylor-Couette flow with external helical magnetic field is simulated for infinite and finite aspect ratios. We solve the MHD equations in their small Prandtl number limit and confirm…

In this paper, we are interested in the nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor instability for the gravity-driven incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with Navier-slip boundary conditions around a smooth increasing density profile $\rho_0(x_2)$ in a…

We study two-phase stratified flow where the bottom layer is a thin laminar liquid and the upper layer is a fully-developed gas flow. The gas flow can be laminar or turbulent. To determine the boundary between convective and absolute…

New necessary and sufficient conditions are proposed for the stability investigation of dynamical systems using the flow and the divergence of the phase vector velocity. The obtained conditions generalize the well-known results of V.P.…

By methods of modern spectral analysis, we rigorously find distributions of eigenvalues of linearized operators associated with an ideal hydromagnetic Couette-Taylor flow. Transition to instability in the limit of vanishing magnetic field…

Starting from hydrodynamic equations, we have established a set of hydrodynamic equations for average flow and a set of dynamic equations of auto- and cross-correlations of turbulent velocity and temperature fluctuations, following the…

The Rayleigh capillary instability of a cylindrical interface between two immiscible fluids is one of the most fundamental in fluid dynamics. As Plateau observed from energetic considerations and Rayleigh clarified through hydrodynamics,…

A series of direct numerical simulations of Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two coaxial cylinders, with the outer cylinder rotating and the inner one fixed, were performed. Three cases, with outer cylinder Reynolds numbers $Re_o$…

This paper provides a prescription for the turbulent viscosity in rotating shear flows for use e.g. in geophysical and astrophysical contexts. This prescription is the result of the detailed analysis of the experimental data obtained in…

This paper numerically investigates the instability characteristics of decelerating flows. The flow dynamics and temporal evolution of coherent structures in a diverging section with mild spatial pressure gradient are analyzed using…
