I had always understood that the root cause of the KH instability (as distinct from the the RT instab) was velocity shear NOT density difference. It is indeed the origin of the transition to turbulence in a sheared flow and of the instability of counter-current flow in a pipe. Both cases are straightforwardly analysed in the early pages of classic texts such as Chandrasekhar or Drazin & Reid.
Unless I get feedback telling me that I've got it totally round my neck, I shall move to edit this article accordingly. Linuxlad 19:26, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Discrepancies between the description of Wavecloudsduval.jpg used on this page and on other pages
I've compiled a short list of discrepancies about this image at Image_talk:Wavecloudsduval.jpg. If someone really knows what this is, could you please fix the ambiguity and discrepancies between the pages? (I'd consider the discussion on the image's talk page to be the appropriate primary discussion place for this issue.) --Kaze0010 03:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
