• Kelvin–Helmholtz instability of two finite-thickness fluid layers with continuous density and velocity profiles

The effect of density and velocity gradients on the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) of two superimposed finite-thickness fluid layers are analytically investigated. The linear normalized frequency and normalized growth rate are presented. Then, their behavior as a function of the density ratio of the lightfluid to the heavy one $(r)$ was analyzed and compared to the case of two semi-infinite fluid layers. The results showed that the values of normalized frequency of KHI for two finite-thickness fluid layers are less than their counterparts for two semi-infinite fluid layers. The behavior of normalized growth rate as a functionof the velocity and density gradients capitulates to the effect of velocity gradient at the large values of $(r)$.

Posted on January 27, 2016

Since January 2016, the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy has moved to Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. This means that each accepted article is being published immediately online with DOI and article citation ID with starting page number 1. Articles are also visible in Web of Science immediately. All these have helped shorten the publication time and have improved the visibility of the articles.
