Fluid mechanics

a three-dimensional short-wave instability of rotating flows whose streamlines are strained into ellipses, as in vortex cores under external strain.

In fluid mechanics, elliptic instability refers to a three-dimensional short-wave instability of rotating flows whose streamlines are strained into ellipses, as in vortex cores under external strain. This meaning comes from Bayly (1986) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
