A new linear mechanism of reciprocal transformation of waves and a corresponding energy transfer in shear flows is discovered. The effect is demonstrated on the simplest example — the two-dimensional waves in unbounded, parallel hydromagnetic flow with uniform velocity shear. The phenomenon discovered is of importance for magnetohydrodynamics and fusion plasma devices and for various terrestrial and astrophysical shear flows. Grasping the result became possible thanks to the nonmodal analyses of the perturbation evolution in the flow. @S1063-651X~96!11605-6# PACS number~s!: 52.35.Bj, 03.40.Kf, 47.20.Ft Oscillatory systems are prevalent in the nature and play an important role in the wide variety of physical processes. It should be emphasized that: ~i! these kinds of dynamical systems usually consist of coupled oscillators and have several degrees of freedom; ~ii! parameters of the oscillators in most cases are not constant but vary slowly in time @1#. The processes taking place in such systems are immensely complex and their study is applicable not only to the various branches of physics, but also to chemistry, biology, sociology, and other sciences. Investigation of these two key aspects of dynamics, closely related to each other in some physical situa
