Abstract: The theory and the experimental discovery of extremely strong hydrodynamic instabilities are described, viz. the Kelvin–Helmholtz, centrifugal, and superreflection instabilities. The discovery of the last two instabilities was predicted and the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in real systems was revised by us.
