An investigation of the influence of initial conditions on Rayleigh-Taylor mixing

Experiments and direct numerical simulations (DNS) have been performed to examine the e¤ects of initial conditions on the dynamics of a Rayleigh-Taylor unsta- ble mixing layer. Experiments were performed on a water channel facility to measure the interfacial and velocity perturbations initially pre...
