Instability of Supersonic Cold Streams Feeding Galaxies III: Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability in Three Dimensions
Nir Mandelker, Daisuke Nagai, Han Aung +3
We study the effects of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) on the cold streams that feed high-redshift galaxies through their hot haloes, generalizing our earlier analyses of a 2D…

Instability of Supersonic Cold Streams Feeding Galaxies II. Nonlinear Evolution of Surface and Body Modes of Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability
Dan Padnos, Nir Mandelker, Yuval Birnboim +3
As part of our long-term campaign to understand how cold streams feed massive galaxies at high redshift, we study the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) of a supersonic, cold, dens…
