Kelvin-Helmholtz instability creates beautiful wave-like cloud patterns in the sky, or billow clouds. Different layers of the atmosphere can have different densities with air moving at different ...

after their discovery of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The two had studied the physics - the fluid dynamic, in particular - behind the atmospheric instability that creates unique clouds.

Additionally, the nonlinear Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of electrified Walters' B liquids was investigated, emphasizing the role of electric fields and surface tension at the interface[3].

2005; Komarova and Hulscher, 2000]. Other examples are the Rayleigh-Taylor instability which occurs any time a dense heavy fluid is being accelerated by a light fluid [Sharp, 1984], the Kelvin ...

Called Kelvin Helmholtz, they resemble rolling ocean ... "They also indicate instability in the atmosphere, which can help identify areas of turbulence for aircraft." They added: "This phenomenon ...
