The reactive-infiltration instability, which develops when a porous matrix is dissolved by a flowing fluid, contains two important length scales. Here we outline a linear stability analysis that simultaneously incorporates both scales. We…
This article is concerned with the dynamic behaviour of two immiscible and incompressible fluids in a cylindrical domain, which are separated by a sharp interface. In case that the heavy fluid is situated on top of the light fluid, one…
A two-field gyrofluid model including ion finite Larmor radius (FLR) corrections, magnetic fluctuations along the ambient field and electron inertia is used to study two-dimensional reconnection in a low $\beta_e$ collisionless plasma, in a…
We propose a new two-fluid model for a partially ionized magnetoplasma under gravity, where electrons and neutrals are treated as a single fluid, and singly charged positive ions are a separate fluid. We observe that the classical result of…
We present a new set of analytic models for the expansion of HII regions powered by UV photoionisation from massive stars and compare them to a new suite of radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations of turbulent, self-gravitating molecular…
This paper investigates the gravitational trapping of HII regions predicted by steady-state analysis using radiation hydrodynamical simulations. We present idealised spherically symmetric radiation hydrodynamical simulations of the early…
Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instabilities may play a relevant role in many astrophysical problems. In this work the effect of magnetic shear on the growth rate of the MRT instability is investigated. The eigenmodes of an interface and a…
We study the saturation near threshold of the axisymmetric magnetorotational instability (MRI) of a viscous, resistive, incompressible fluid in a thin-gap Taylor-Couette configuration. A vertical magnetic field, Keplerian shear and no-slip,…
It is still open whether the phenomenon of inhibition of Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) instability by a horizontal magnetic field can be mathematically verified for a non-resistive \emph{viscous} magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid in a two-dimensional…
We consider the long-standing problem of Rayleigh-Taylor instability with variable acceleration, and focus on the early-time dynamics of an interface separating incompressible ideal fluids of different densities subject to an acceleration…
The linear stability of Alfv\'en eigenmodes in the presence of fusion-born alpha particles is thoroughly assessed for two variants of an ITER baseline scenario, which differ significantly in their core and pedestal temperatures. A…
Guo--Tice formally established in 2011 that the Rayleigh--Taylor instability inevitably occurs within stratified compressible viscous fluids in a slab domain $\mathbb{R}^2\times (h_-,h_+)$, irrespecive of the presence of interfacial surface…
Magnetorotational instability (MRI) is one of the fundamental processes in astrophysics, driving angular momentum transport and mass accretion in a wide variety of cosmic objects. Despite much theoretical/numerical and experimental efforts…
Many astrophysical phenomena (such as the slow rotation of neutron stars or the rigid rotation of the solar core) can be explained by the action of the Tayler instability of toroidal magnetic fields in the radiative zones of stars. In order…
The Rayleigh capillary instability of a cylindrical interface between two immiscible fluids is one of the most fundamental in fluid dynamics. As Plateau observed from energetic considerations and Rayleigh clarified through hydrodynamics,…
We develop an analytic approach to study inhomogeneous reionization on large scales by solving the equations of ionization balance and radiative transfer to first order in perturbations. Given the spatial distribution and spectrum of the…
The magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability (MRTI) governs plasma mixing and transport in a wide range of astrophysical and laboratory systems. Owing to computational constraints, MRTI is often studied using two-dimensional (2D) simulations,…
We study the existence of unstable classical solutions of the Rayleigh--Taylor instability problem (abbr. RT problem) of an inhomogeneous incompressible viscous fluid in a bounded domain. We find that, by using an existence theory of…
The effect of magnetic field on the nonlinear growth rate of Rayleigh-Taylor instability induced two fluid interfacial structures has been investigated. The magnetic field is assumed to be parallel to the plane of the two fluid interface…
We consider the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the early evolution of the rarefied radio bubbles (cavities) observed in many cooling flow clusters of galaxies. The top of a bubble becomes prone to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability as the…
