Tollmien-Schlichting waves are a type of instability that arises in boundary layer flows, specifically in the context of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. These waves are crucial in understanding how disturbances in a flow can lead to transition from laminar to turbulent states, affecting the stability and behavior of MHD boundary layers.
congrats on reading the definition of Tollmien-Schlichting Waves. now let's actually learn it.
