Classical techniques for investigating the Rayleigh-Taylor instability include using compressed gasses, rocketry or linear electric motors to reverse the effective direction of gravity, and accelerate the lighter fluid toward the denser fluid. Other... Read More about Magnetically Induced Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor Instability.

© 2017 American Physical Society. The effect of rotation upon the classical Rayleigh-Taylor instability is investigated. We consider a two-layer system with an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the interface between the layers. In general, we... Read More about Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
