NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF VISCOSITY ON KELVIN-HELMHOLTZ INSTABILITY
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of interface between a viscous and an inviscid fluid is studied numerically treating the interface as a vortex sheet due to relative tangential velocities. The effect of viscosity is symmetric growth and smooth rolling up of the interface as observed in recent studied.
