The Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism refers to a physical phenomenon that occurs when two different fluid layers of varying density and velocity are in contact with one another, leading to the formation of waves or instabilities at their interface. Named after the British physicist Lord Kelvin and the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz, this mechanism is commonly observed in various contexts, including astronomy, meteorology, and oceanography.
