Rayleigh-Taylor Instability

Numerical Simulation    Initial & Boundary Condition

 

The domain is 2m in x- and y-direction and 3m in z-direction, the direction of the standard gravitational force. The interface between the gases is initially defined by a cylindrical symmetric sine with wavelength 1m and amplitude 5cm. The sine wave smoothly changes to a straight line normal to z at the outer regions.
