The instability of stratified flows at large Richardson numbers.
In contrast to conventional expectations based on the stability of steady shear flows, elementary time-periodic stratified flows that are unstable at arbitrarily large Richardson numbers are presented here. The fundamental instability is a parametric one with twice the period of the basic state. This instability spontaneously generates local shears on buoyancy time scales near a specific angle ...

متن کاملAsymptotic Stability of Unsteady Inviscid Stratified Flows
The stability of modulated atmospheric flows is analyzed. The equations govern. ing the disturbance motion are solved by Galerkin expansions with time-dependent coefficients. Asymptotic stability bounds are then established by constructing Liapuno"\ functions for the resulting differential systems.
متن کاملOn the Stability of Stratified Flows with a Horizontal Shear
Howard’s semi-circle theorem [4] states that the complex wavespeed for an unstable mode must fall within the range of values of the base flow, a conclusion that has proven to be of fundamental importance for a wide variety of flow phenomena. Howard’s original proof applies to a two-dimensional basic state, u(z), where z is the vertical distance and u is the horizontal velocity, with two dimensi...
