The aim of this paper is to report on some recent studies that were performed in order to further extend the understanding of the late time evolution of the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability. We report results on: (a) Two-dimensional nonlinear interaction of a small number of modes: (b) Three-dimensional single mode and two-mode-coupling evolution as compared with 2D nonlinear results: (c) RT evolution in three-dimensional spherical geometry under conditions relevant to intertial confinement fusion targets.
