Abstract
⺠We study the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at boundary layers around of Venus. ⺠The stability of the induced magnetopause and the ionopause is examined. ⺠The ionopause seems to be stable due to a large density jump across this boundary. ⺠The instability evolves into its nonlinear phase on the magnetopause at solar maximum. ⺠Loss rates are therefore lower than previously assumed.
