In this paper, a collection of results pertaining to resonant triads i
n fluid flow systems is presented. The main topic is the extension of
the analysis by Mahoney for wind-driven shear flows to general, layere
d flows, that is to say, flows which have piecewise continuous velocit
y and density profiles. It is seen how the results for calculating the
triad interaction coefficients for two-layer flows generalize and car
ry over for multilayer flows.
