Instabilities in viscosity-stratified flow
R Govindarajan, KC Sahu - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
This review highlights the profound and unexpected ways in which viscosity varying in
space and time can affect flow. The most striking manifestations are through alterations of …
