Effect of initial conditions on the development of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities

There are two coupled objectives for this study of buoyancy-driven turbulence. The first objective is to determine if the development of a Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) mixing layer can be manipulated experimentally by altering the initial condition of the experiment. The second objective is to evaluate the...
