Convective instabilities in nematics caused by an elliptical shear
2014 A nematic liquid crystal, oriented homeotropically (n//z) between two parallel plates (~ z) in relative motion x = x0 sin 03C9t on one plate, y = y0 cos 03C9t on the other one, exhibits a sequence of convective instabilities for increasing values of a dimensionless parameter N proportional to x0 y0 03C9. Above a first critical number Nc1, parallel convection rolls establish through the sam...
متن کاملConvective and absolute instabilities of fluid flows in finite geometry
Dynamics of linear and nonlinear waves in driven dissipative systems in finite domains are considered. In many cases (for example, due to rotation) the waves travel preferentially in one direction. Such waves cannot be reflected from boundaries. As a consequence in the convectively unstable regime the waves ultimately decay; only when the threshold for absolute instability is exceeded can the w...
متن کاملPressure- and magnetic shear-driven instabilities in rotating MHD jets
We derive new stability criteria for purely MHD instabilities in rotating jets, in the framework of the ballooning ordering expansion. Quite unexpectedly, they involve a term which is linear in the magnetic shear. This implies that cylindrical configurations can be destabilized by a negative magnetic shear as well as by a favorable equilibrium pressure gradient, in distinction with the predicti...
متن کاملDouble-diffusive instabilities of a shear-generated magnetic layer
Previous theoretical work has speculated about the existence of doublediffusive magnetic buoyancy instabilities of a dynamically evolving horizontal magnetic layer generated by the interaction of forced vertically sheared velocity and a background vertical magnetic field. Here we confirm numerically that if the ratio of the magnetic to thermal diffusivities is sufficiently low then such instabi...
متن کاملMixing through shear instabilities
In this paper we present the results of numerical simulations of the KelvinHelmholtz instability in a stratified shear layer. This shear instability is believed to be responsible for extra mixing in differentially rotating stellar interiors and is the prime candidate to explain the abundance anomalies observed in many rotating stars. All mixing prescriptions currently in use are based on phenom...
