Title:

Two- and Three-Dimensional Behavior of Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholz Instabilities

Date of publication:

Oct. 1990

Key words:

Rayleigh-Taylor instability, computer simulation, two and three dimensions

Abstract:

Two- and three-dimensional behavior of the R-T and K-H instabilities is examined with a newly developed hydrodynamic code CIP. The mushroom structure owing to the K-H instability is quite different in two and three dimensions. The simulation without gravity show a similar behavior and hence this difference between two and three dimensions does not originate from the R-T instability. This difference cannot be explained by a linear analysis on the K-H instability also.
