the necessary condition that an inviscid parallel shear flow can be unstable only if its velocity profile has an inflection point.

In fluid mechanics, Rayleigh inflection point criterion refers to the necessary condition that an inviscid parallel shear flow can be unstable only if its velocity profile has an inflection point. This meaning comes from Rayleigh (1879) in Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society.[1]
