The Rayleigh-Plateau instability occurs when surface tension makes a fluid column become unstable to small perturbations. At nanometer scales, thermal fluctuations are comparable to surface energy densities. Consequently, at these scales,…

The late-time growth of single-mode immiscible Rayleigh-Taylor instability is investigated over a comprehensive range of the Reynolds numbers ($1\leq Re \leq 10000$) and Atwood numbers $(0.05 \leq A \leq 0.7)$ using an improved lattice…

We study the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability in three dimensions, with focus on the nonlinear structure and evolution that results from different initial field configurations. We study strong fields in the sense that the critical…

In this article we consider the inhomogeneous incompressible Euler equations describing two fluids with different constant densities under the influence of gravity as a differential inclusion. By considering the relaxation of the…

These fluid dynamics video sequences show two Rayleigh-Taylor instability experiments. The first video sequence shows an experiment where two layers of uniform density are arranged such that the density of the upper layer is greater than…

We assess experimentally the scaling laws that characterize the mixing region produced by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a confined porous medium. In particular, we wish to assess experimentally the existence of a superlinear scaling…

We consider the evolution of two incompressible fluids with homogeneous densities $\rho_-<\rho_+$ subject to gravity described by the inviscid Boussinesq equations and provide the explicit relaxation of the associated differential…

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is a key process in many fields of Physics ranging from astrophysics to inertial confinement fusion. It is usually analyzed deriving the linearized fluid equations, but the physics behind the instability is…

We consider the free boundary problem for two layers of immiscible, viscous, incompressible fluid in a uniform gravitational field, lying above a rigid bottom in a three-dimensional horizontally periodic setting. The effect of surface…

We discuss the irreversibility, nonlocality, and fluctuations, as well as the Lyapunov and hydrodynamic instabilities characterizing atomistic, smooth-particle, and finite-difference solutions of the two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard…

Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) unstable flames are a key component of Type Ia and Iax supernovae explosions, but their complex hydrodynamics is still not well understood. These flames are affected not only by the RT instability, but also by the…

In the classical Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability, initial conditions are forgotten and the growth of the mixing layer becomes self-similar when short wavelength modes couple to generate longer wavelength modes. In this paper, we explore…

We investigate the linear instability of flows that are stable according to Rayleigh's criterion for rotating fluids. Using Taylor-Couette flow as a primary test case, we develop large Reynolds number matched asymptotic expansion theories.…

Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) occurs at the interface of two media when the heavier fluid is accelerated into the lighter fluid and is a prototypical hydrodynamic event present in many physical events. In high energy physics, this…

We present three dimensional fluid simulation results on the temporal evolution and nonlinear saturation of the magnetic curvature driven Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability. The model set of coupled nonlinear equations evolve the scalar…

In this paper we consider the evolution of two fluid phases in a porous medium. The fluids are separated from each other and also the wetting phase from air by interfaces which evolve in time. We reduce the problem to an abstract evolution…

The first consistent phenomenological theory for two and three dimensional Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) turbulence has recently been presented by Chertkov [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91} 115001 (2003)]. By means of direct numerical simulations we…

We study the Rayleigh-Taylor problem for two incompressible, immiscible, viscous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows, with zero resistivity, surface tension (or without surface tenstion) and special initial magnetic field, evolving with a free…

Two-dimensional single-mode Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (RTI) is simulated using an accurate and robust front-tracking/ghost-fluid method (FT/GFM) with high-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme. We compare our numerical…

The two-phase mixing layer formed between parallel gas and liquid streams is an important fundamental problem in turbulent multiphase flows. The problem is relevant to many industrial applications and natural phenomena, such as air-blast…
