Planetary science

a hydrodynamic instability driven by vertical gradients of rotation in protoplanetary discs that can produce turbulence where magnetic instabilities fail.

In planetary science, vertical shear instability refers to a hydrodynamic instability driven by vertical gradients of rotation in protoplanetary discs that can produce turbulence where magnetic instabilities fail. This meaning comes from Nelson (2013) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
