Nonlinear dynamics of surfactant-laden multilayer shear flows and related systems

The nonlinear stability of two-fluid shear flows in the presence of inertia and/or an insoluble surfactant at the interface is studied in this thesis. Asymptotic analysis in the limit of a thin lower layer is performed and a system of coupled weakly nonlinear evolution equations is derived. The syst...
