✦ Synopsis

Results are described of computations of 3-D compressible Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The instability is an important mixing mechanism in a variety of flows such as supernovae and inertial confinement fusion. The code uses Flux Corrected Transport to solve the Euler equations of hydrodynamics. Results of the simulations have been characterized by considering differing resolutions and in terms of growth-rates, Mach number evolution, pattern formation, and (weakly) turbulent structures.

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is a gravity driven instability of a contact surface between fluids of different densities. The growth of this instability is sensitive to numerical or physical mass diffusion. (1.1) For this reason, high resolution of the contact discontinuity is particularly impor
