THE RAYLEIGH-TAYLOR INSTABILITY OF A ROTATING COMPRESSIBLE INVISCID FLUID

Journal Article Verma, Y; Verma, P - Proc. Natl. Inst. Sci. India, Pt. A

Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a rotating compressible inviscid fluid was investigated. The coriolis force for unstable configuration decreases the critical wavelength of perturbations that give rise to Rayleigh modes, while for stable configurations it increases this critical wavelength. (auth)
Some numerical experiments with low atwood number incompressible Rayleigh-- Taylor instabilities

Technical Report Crowley, W
Comprehensive numerical methodology for direct numerical simulations of compressible Rayleigh-Taylor instability

Technical Report Reckinger, Scott; Livescu, Daniel; Vasilyev, Oleg

A comprehensive numerical methodology has been developed that handles the challenges introduced by considering the compressive nature of Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) systems, which include sharp interfacial density gradients on strongly stratified background states, acoustic wave generation and removal at computational boundaries, and stratification-dependent vorticity production. The computational framework is used to simulate two-dimensional single-mode RTI to extreme late-times for a wide range of flow compressibility and variable density effects. The results show that flow compressibility acts to reduce the growth of RTI for low Atwood numbers, as predicted from linear stability analysis.

A numerical study of bubble interactions in Rayleigh--Taylor instability for compressible fluids

Journal Article Glimm, J; Li, X; Menikoff, R; ... - Physics of Fluids A; (USA)

The late nonlinear and chaotic stage of Rayleigh--Taylor instability is characterized by the evolution of bubbles of the light fluid and spikes of the heavy fluid, each penetrating into the other phase. This paper is focused on the numerical study of bubble interactions and their effect on the statistical behavior and evolution of the bubble envelope. Compressible fluids described by the two-fluid Euler equations are considered and the front tracking method for numerical simulation of these equations is used. Two major phenomena are studied. One is the dynamics of the bubbles in a chaotic environment and the interaction among neighboringmore »« less

Rayleigh-Taylor instability in compressible fluids. Final technical report, 1 October 1990--30 September 1991

Technical Report Sturtevant, B

We report here the results of a new densitometry technique, based on the differential X-ray aborption by the two gases at the interface. The interface is imaged on X-ray negative plates, which are subsequently digitized and analyzed with a newly developed self-calibrating procedure. From the distribution of film density, the density field of the heavy gas (viz. xenon) throughout the test section is reconstructed. The shape of the interface, average density profiles, and density contours are extracted from such density distribution. To our knowledge these are the first measurements of this kind. The technique is demonstrated in a vertical shockmore »« less
