Taylor Instability in a Stratified Flow.
Abstract
The effect of a mean flow and density stratification on the instability of a density discontinuity is investigated. The flow is of the jet type between parallel walls with a piecewise linear velocity profile. The stratification is statically stable. The dominant instability occurs for large values of the perturbation wavenumber. The stratification and flow are generally stabilizing, but the effect of the stratification is found to be destabilizing with respect to small wavenumbers.
