The Rayleigh-Taylor Instability of Transition Layer

Plasma Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

New types of symmetry for the Rayleigh equation are found. For small Atwood number, an analytic solution is obtained for a smoothly varying density profile. It is shown that a transition layer with a finite width can undergo some kind of stratification.
