Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability at Mars: In Situ Observations and Kinetic Simulations

Kelvin–Helmholtz (K-H) instability is a fundamental boundary instability between two fluids with different speeds, exchanging the mass, momentum, and energy across the boundary. Although the K-H instability has been suggested to play a critical role in atmospheric ion loss on Mars, the knowledge abo...
