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

The theory of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of accelerated fluid layers is systematically
developed from basic fluid equations. Starting with the classical potential flow theory for …

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 …

In order to study the effect of compressibility on Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability, we
numerically simulated the late-time evolution of two-dimensional single-mode RT instability …

Magnetized laser-produced plasmas are central to many novel laboratory astrophysics and
inertial confinement fusion studies, as well as in industrial applications. Here we provide the …

The effects of isothermal initial stratification on the dynamics of the vorticity for single-mode
Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) are examined using two-dimensional fully compressible …

Abstract Non-isothermal Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (RTI) has been investigated for
incompressible, Newtonian, immiscible flows. Thermal gradients were triggered by imposing …

Partial modeling of the hydrodynamic evolution of the supernovae is one of the prominent
applications of laboratory astrophysics. In particular the role of Rayleigh–Taylor instability …

Mercury has a compositionally diverse surface exhibiting geochemical terranes that
represent different periods of igneous activity, suggesting diverse mantle source …

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 …
