Recent work on the stability of two‐layer channel flow, with either smooth or corrugated walls, and core‐annular flow is discussed with the emphasis on the potentially destabilising effect of an insoluble surfactant. Linearised normal mode analyses are conducted to identify unstable parametric conditions, and these are followed up by computer simulations which confirm the linear results and, furthermore, reveal a rich array of dynamical behaviour in the nonlinear regime.
