Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz Instabilities

This lecture covers the concepts of Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, focusing on the dispersion relation analysis and the determination of maximum heat flux in vapor jets. The slides discuss the instability criteria, eigenvalue problems, and the balance of heat flux in different configurations. The instructor also presents the importance of understanding the wavelength of disturbances in jet walls and the prediction of maximum heat flux in various boiling scenarios.
