On the basis of the phase-field approach, we investigate the simultaneous diffusive and
convective evolution of an isothermal binary mixture of two slowly miscible liquids that are …

To describe the evolution of an interface between two immiscible media, an equation for a
volume fraction function is derived, with the interface curvature effect being described by a …

The stability of a shear flow imposed along a diffusive interface that separates two miscible
liquids (a heavier liquid lies underneath) is studied using direct numerical simulations. The …

In a gravitational field, a horizontal interface between two miscible fluids can be buoyantly
unstable because of double diffusive effects or because of a Rayleigh-Taylor instability …

The linear stability of two immiscible liquid layers heated from below through a rigid perfectly
conducting boundary with a free deformable upper surface and a deformable liquid–liquid …

The relative role of convection and diffusion is characterized both numerically and
experimentally for porous media flows due to a Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a horizontal …

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is a fingering instability of an interface between two fluids of
different densities, which occurs when the light fluid is pushing the heavy fluid [1, 2]. The aim …

Abstract The Rayleigh–Taylor instability is a fundamental instability of an interface between
two fluids of different densities, which occurs when the light fluid is pushing the heavy fluid …

The two-dimensional Kelvin–Helmholtz instability of a sheared fluid interface separating
immiscible fluids is studied by numerical simulations. The evolution is determined by the …

We present experiments showing the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the interface between a
dense magnetic liquid and an immiscible less dense liquid. The liquids are confined in a …
