This lecture discusses the stability analysis of a 2D fluid flow with constant density and zero viscosity. The instructor explains the linearized 2D Euler equations, vorticity equation, and inflection point criterion for instability. Various instabilities such as Rayleigh-Taylor, Rayleigh Plateau, and Kelvin-Helmholtz are covered, along with concepts like transient growth and spatial growth.
