Viscous Instability

Viscous Instability is a hydrodynamic instability arising in accretion flows when dissipative viscous stresses destabilize otherwise stable shear layers, distinguishing it from inviscid or magnetically driven instabilities by its reliance on finite viscosity to trigger perturbation growth.
