Reposted by Julian MakAdrian Fraser @fraserlaser.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Hey astrophysicists, a presence (absence) of KH billows in some astrophysical shear flow doesn't always imply a lower (upper) bound on the local magnetic field strength! See arxiv.org/abs/2510.031...arxiv.orgNonmodal growth and optimal perturbations in magnetohydrodynamic shear flowsIn astrophysical shear flows, the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability is generally suppressed by magnetic tension provided a sufficiently strong streamwise magnetic field. This is often used to infer up... 152
