Thermochemical Rossby waves in rapid rotation: from swallowtail geometry to nonlinear selection

Oleg N. Kirillov

When heat and solute both destabilise a rapidly rotating fluid, do their buoyancies add? Codensity models assume so, giving a straight onset diagonal; spherical shells show curved…

Instabilities in visco-thermodiffusive swirling flows

Oleg N. Kirillov, Innocent Mutabazi

An analytical theory is presented for linear, local, short-wavelength instabilities in swirling flows, in which axial shear, differential rotation, radial thermal stratification, v…

Unification theory of instabilities of visco-diffusive swirling flows

Oleg N. Kirillov, Innocent Mutabazi

A universal theory of linear instabilities in swirling flows, occurring in both natural settings and industrial applications, is formulated. The theory encompasses a wide range of…

Flutter instability in solids and structures, with a view on biomechanics and metamaterials

Davide Bigoni, Francesco Dal Corso, Oleg N. Kirillov +3

The phenomenon of oscillatory instability called \lq flutter' was observed in aeroelasticity and rotor dynamics about a century ago. Driven by a series of applications involving no…

Finding the strongest stable weightless column with a follower load and relocatable concentrated masses

Oleg N. Kirillov, Michael L. Overton

We consider the problem of optimal placement of concentrated masses along a massless elastic column that is clamped at one end and loaded by a nonconservative follower force at the…

Membrane flutter induced by radiation of surface gravity waves on a uniform flow

Joris Labarbe, Oleg N. Kirillov

We consider stability of an elastic membrane being on the bottom of a uniform horizontal flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of finite depth with free surface. The membran…
