1Instability — [ Hydrodynamics simulation of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability [Shengtai Li, Hui Li Parallel AMR Code for Compressible MHD or HD Equations (Los Alamos National Laboratory) [http://math.lanl.gov/Research/Highlights/amrmhd.shtml] ] ] Instability in… …
2Electrothermal instability — NOTOC The electrothermal instability (also known as the ionization instability or Velikhov instability in the literature) is a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instability appearing in magnetized non thermal plasmas used in MHD converters. It was first… …
3Two stream instability — The two stream instability is a very common instability in plasma physics. It can be induced by an energetic particle stream injected in a plasma, or setting a current along the plasma so different species (ions and electrons) can have different… …
4Two-stream instability — The two stream instability is a very common instability in plasma physics. It can be induced by an energetic particle stream injected in a plasma, or setting a current along the plasma so different species (ions and electrons) can have different… …
5Rayleigh–Taylor instability — The Rayleigh–Taylor instability, or RT instability (after Lord Rayleigh and G. I. Taylor), is an instability of an interface between two fluids of different densities, which occurs when the lighter fluid is pushing the heavier fluid. [citation… …
6Kelvin–Helmholtz instability — Numerical simulation of a temporal Kelvin–Helmholtz instability The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, after Lord Kelvin and Hermann von Helmholtz, can occur when velocity shear is present within a continuous fluid, or when there is sufficient… …
7Richtmyer-Meshkov instability — The Richtmyer Meshkov instability (RMI) occurs when an interface between fluids of differing density is impulsively accelerated, e.g. by the passage of a shock wave. The development of the instability begins with small amplitude perturbations… …
8Rogue wave — This article is about the deep ocean rogue waves which occur far out at sea. For tsunami and tidal wave phenomena, see those respective articles. For other uses, see Rogue wave (disambiguation). The Draupner wave, a single giant wave measured on… …
9Gravity wave — In fluid dynamics, gravity waves are waves generated in a fluid medium or at the interface between two media (e.g. the atmosphere or ocean) which has the restoring force of gravity or buoyancy.When a fluid parcel is displaced on an interface or… …
10Undercompressive shock wave — An undercompressive shock wave is a shock wave that does not fulfill the Peter Lax conditions.DetailsOrdinary shock waves are compressive, that is, they fulfill the Peter Lax conditions: the characteristic speed behind the shock is greater than… …
