The Combined Effects of Vertical and Horizontal Shear Instabilities in Stellar Radiative Zones

Shear instabilities can be the source of significant amounts of turbulent mixing in stellar radiative zones. Past attempts at modeling their effects (either theoretically or using numerical simulations) have focused on idealized geometries, where the shear is either purely vertical or purely horizon...
