Compressible Rayleigh–Taylor instability

L Baker - The Physics of Fluids, 1983 - pubs.aip.org
The role of compressibility in modifying the growth rate of Rayleigh–Taylor instability is
discussed. Compressibility can either enhance or decrease the growth rate. If the sound …

Compressibility effect on instability growth rates

WA Newcomb - The Physics of fluids, 1983 - pubs.aip.org
In the case of the Rayleigh‐Taylor instability, let the z axis be taken as vertical. We terminate
the system at z=±L, say, where L is large compared with the scale height of the density …
