Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

Through the computation of the most-unstable modes, we perform a systematic analysis of
the linear Rayleigh–Taylor instability at a spherical interface separating two different …

When a liquid drop strikes a deep pool of a target liquid, an impact crater opens while the
liquid of the drop decelerates and spreads on the surface of the crater. When the density of …

In this paper, we present a linear analysis of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) in
cylindrical geometry to investigate the effects of viscosity and elasticity on growth rates using …

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 …

For a spherical interface of radius R separating two different homogeneous regions of
incompressible viscous fluids under the action of a radially directed acceleration, we perform …

A brief review is given on the stability of two-fluid systems. Our interest is primarily driven by
drag reduction using superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) or liquid-infused surfaces (LIS) …

The interface of a viscous fluid and A l 2 O 3-water nanofluid is analyzed through linear
instability analysis in a spherical configuration. The viscous fluid lies inside the sphere while …

In the previous studies of Rayleigh-Taylor instability, different methods were used to
consider the effects of elasticity, viscosity, and magnetic fields. In this paper, a unified …

Abstract The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) mixing induced by random interface disturbances
between two incompressible viscous fluids is simulated numerically. The ensemble …
