In this paper, we investigate the elliptical instability exhibited by two counter-rotating trailing vortices. This type of instability can be viewed as a resonance between two normal modes of a vortex and an external strain field. Recent numerical in

This paper describes an investigation of the linear, diffusive critical layer for shear flows whose inviscid neutral modes have an algebraic branch point. As examples of flows exhibiting such singular behaviour, we treat both stratified shear flows a

We investigate the eigenvalue problem governing the propagation of long nonlinear surface waves when there is a current beneath the surface, y being the vertical coordinate. The amplitude of such waves evolves according to the KdV equation and it was

We consider in this paper the propagation of neutral modes along a vortex with velocity profile $\bar{V}(r)$, r being the radial coordinate. In the linear inviscid stability theory for swirling flows, modes that are singular at some value of r denote

We consider in this paper the propagation of neutral modes along a vortex with velocity profile being the radial coordinate. In the linear stability theory governing such flows, the boundary in parameter space separating stable and unstable regions i

In this paper, numerical simulations are presented of the nonlinear critical-layer evolution of a forced gravity wave packet in a stratified shear flow. The wave packet, localized in the horizontal direction, is forced at the lower boundary of a two-

We investigate the linear stability of the Bickley jet in the framework of the beta-plane approximation. Because singular inviscid neutral modes exist in the retrograde case u = -sech 2 y, it is necessary to add viscosity to interpret them. One of th

It was shown by Benney and Bergeron [1] that singular neutral modes with nonlinear critical layers are mathematically possible in a variety of shear flows. These are usually subcritical modes; i.e., they occur at values of the flow parameters where t

We investigate the nonlinear development of a forced Rossby wave packet in the presence of a critical layer in a zonal shear flow. Most previous analyses of this phenomenon have dealt with spatially periodic, monochromatic waves. These studies observ

Observations show the presence of localized regions in the atmosphere with diminished potential vorticity gradients, an example being the tropical upper troposphere where convective heating plays an important role. The present work investigates the e
