theorem bounding the complex wave speed of any unstable mode in stratified shear flow to lie inside a semicircle set by the velocity range.

In fluid dynamics, Howard's semicircle theorem refers to theorem bounding the complex wave speed of any unstable mode in stratified shear flow to lie inside a semicircle set by the velocity range. This meaning comes from Howard (1961) in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.[1]
