The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, a useful model for wind-wave generation?

The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, one of the most classical instabilities in fluid mechanics, was initially introduced to describe the generation of waves by wind. This instability is relevant to several natural and engineering flow configurations, and has led to many experimental variants, in tilte...
