Crow instability is a phenomenon observed in fluid dynamics, particularly in the context of stratified flows. It refers to an instability that occurs in a horizontal layer of fluid when a lighter fluid overlies a heavier fluid. This can lead to the formation of internal waves and the eventual mixing of the two layers due to the instability. The term is named after the American physicist H. J. Crow, who studied the stability of stratified flows.
