The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability of viscoelastic flows was examined through a linear instability analysis. Due of the position change of viscoelastic effects, different unstable responses of liquid elastic effects and medium viscous effects were fully investigated. Finally, a comparison of gas/liquid shearing and inviscid aerodynamic effects on sheet instability is conducted.
