Linear stability analysis of shear flow class is provided. The role of inertia, linear friction and impermeable boundaries in Kelvin--Helmholtz instability development is studied. Hierarchy of simplified one-dimensional models of viscosity- and density-stratified flows is obtained in long-wave approximation. Interpretation of Saffman--Taylor instability development is given in the framework of these models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-27T09:22:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hele-shaw cell", "saffman-taylor instability development", "linear stability analysis", "shear flow class", "kelvin-helmholtz instability development" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150106704C" } } }
