Rayleigh–Taylor and Richtmyer–Meshkov instability induced flow, turbulence, and mixing. II

Y Zhou - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

Nonlinear stability of fluid and plasma equilibria

DD Holm, JE Marsden, T Ratiu, A Weinstein - Physics reports, 1985 - Elsevier
The Liapunov method for establishing stability has been used in a variety of fluid and
plasma problems. For nondissipative systems, this stability method is related to well-known …

Theory of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability

HJ Kull - Physics reports, 1991 - Elsevier
The theory of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of accelerated fluid layers is systematically

Incompressible rayleigh–taylor turbulence

G Boffetta, A Mazzino - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Basic fluid equations are the main ingredient in the development of theories of Rayleigh–

Physics of high-density Z-pinch plasmas

MA Liberman, JS De Groot, A Toor, RB Spielman - 2012 - books.google.com
A" z-pinch" is a deceptively simple plasma configuration in which a longitudinal current
produces a magnetic field that tends to confine the plasma. The simple geometry and low …

Compressibility effects on the Rayleigh–Taylor instability growth between immiscible fluids

D Livescu - Physics of fluids, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
The Rayleigh–Taylor instability, which occurs due to the gravitational instability of a heavy
fluid overlying a lighter fluid, 1, 2 is of fundamental importance in a multitude of applications …

Compressibility effects in Rayleigh–Taylor instability-induced flows

S Gauthier, B Le Creurer - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2010 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We present a tentative review of compressibility effects in Rayleigh–Taylor instability-
induced flows. The linear, nonlinear and turbulent regimes are considered. We first make the …
