Kelvin-Helmholtz TimescaleThe Kelvin-Helmholtz timescale is the time required for a star to radiate its own gravitational energy. It is defined as the ratio of the star's gravitational energy GM2/R (where M and R are the...doi:10.1007/978-3-642-27833-4_5502-1D. Galli...

However, for periods of northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) reconnection is less likely at the dayside magnetopause, and Kelvin–Helmholtz waves (KHWs) may be important agents for plasma entry and for the excitation of ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves. The relative importance of KHWs ...
The transition between Kelvin-Helmholtz and Holmboe instability: an investigation of the overreflection hypothesis We consider the evolution of small disturbances on an inviscid, Boussinesq, stably stratified free shear layer. This flow may deliver either Kelvin-Helmhol... WD Smyth,WR Peltier - 《Jou...
Our calculations indicate that Kelvin-Helmholtz modes can operate fast enough to amplify the magnetic field strengths in superwinds within the timescale of the outflow. Plasma-neutral gas simulations show that the non-linear evolution of the Kelvin-Helmholtz modes resemble the pure MHD one and ...
Trains of large Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) billows within the Kuroshio current at ~230 m depth off southeastern Taiwan and above a seamount were observed by shipboard instruments. The trains of large KH billows were present in a strong shear band along the 0.55 m sisotach within the Kuroshio core...
