Fluid flows make up so much of our world, from the atmosphere and oceans to volcanic lava. They are also key to many biological processes, and almost everything we use goes through a fluid stage in its manufacture. Dr Helen Wilson shows how these fluid flows can become unstable and explains some of the mechanisms at work.
