The turbulent Rayleigh–Taylor instability is investigated in the limit of strong mode-coupling using a variety of high-resolution, multimode, three dimensional numerical simulations NS …
Turbulent mixing due to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability is experimentally found to vary strongly with the temporal acceleration profile g (t). For constant g, the bubble amplitude hb …
The dynamics of an interfacial flow that is initially Rayleigh-Taylor unstable but becomes statically stable for some intermediate period due to the reversal of the externally imposed …

A large-eddy simulation technique is described for computing Rayleigh–Taylor instability. The method is based on high-wavenumber-preserving subgrid-scale models, combined with …
In the turbulent Rayleigh–Taylor instability, the light fluid penetrates the heavy fluid as bubbles with a diameter D b and amplitude hb that grow self-similarly D b∝ hb∼ α b A gt 2 …

The turbulent Rayleigh–Taylor instability is investigated over a comprehensive range of fluid density ratio (R) 1.3⩽ R⩽ 50 [0.15⩽ A=(R− 1)/(R+ 1)⩽ 0.96] and different acceleration …
We describe numerical simulations of the miscible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability driven by a complex acceleration history, g (t), with initially destabilizing acceleration, g> 0, an …
