Demonstrating the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Using a Low-Cost Experimental Apparatus and Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations

A Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is formed when two fluids of different densities exert a shear on one another at their interface when flowing in opposite directions. This paper presents a step-by-step guide for the design of a low-cost, small-scale, experimental tilt tube apparatus and a correspondin...
