A compressible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) unstable flow with a diffuse interface where the density
varies smoothly supports a multiplicity of unstable eigenmodes that grow exponentially in …

It was observed in the first part of this work [CX Yu, Phys. Rev. E 97, 013102 (2018) 2470-
0045 10.1103/PhysRevE. 97.013102] that a Rayleigh-Taylor flow with a smoothly varying …

In this article, the computation of the linear growth rates and eigenfunctions of the viscous
version of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability by numerically solving the corresponding …

The effect of rotation upon the classical Rayleigh-Taylor instability is investigated. We
consider a two-layer system with an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the interface …

Theory and experiments are reported that explore the behaviour of the Rayleigh–Taylor
instability initiated with a diffuse interface. Experiments are performed in which an interface …

In this article, multiple eigen-systems including linear growth rates and eigen-functions have
been discovered for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) by numerically solving the Sturm …

A weakly nonlinear model is proposed for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the presence of
surface tension. The dynamics of a multimode perturbation of the interface between two …

In interface instabilities, deformations first grow exponentially, then enter a nonlinear regime
affecting amplitude and symmetry. Most extant studies have focused on amplitude alone …

We report the first experiments on divergent Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) at well-
controlled single-mode cylindrical interfaces between air and viscous liquid. At early stages …

Laminar-turbulent transition in Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) flows usually starts with infinitesimal
perturbations, which evolve into the spike-bubble structures in the nonlinear saturation …
