A new type of symmetry for the Rayleigh equation is found. For small Atwood number an analytic solution is obtained for a smoothly varying density profile. The spectra of unstable modes are defined. It is shown that a transition layer with finite width can undergo stratification, and velocity shear
The large-eddy simulation is used to study fluid mixing due to Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a timedependent acceleration field. The numerical results show that the two fluids in the mixing layer move back towards their initial position if the acceleration has a sudden change in the direction durin
