## Abstract Stratified flows in hydrostatic balance are studied in both their multilayer and continuous formulations. A novel stability criterion is proposed for stratified flows, which reinterprets stability in terms not of growth of small perturbations but of the wellβposedness of the time evolut

## Abstract A derivation is given of the firstβorder, nonlinear amplitude equation governing the temporal evolution of finiteβamplitude waves in stratified shear flows. the theory has been developed on an essentially inviscid basis by perturbing away from the linear neutral stability curve in Richa
The general formulation of the problem of stability with respect to low three-dimensional disturbances of some space Β―ow of non-homogeneous medium with vector linear constitutive relations but scalar non-linear ones, are given. The main Β―ow may be, in general, unsteady. Non-homogeneity is understood
