Rayleigh–Taylor growth at decelerating interfaces
The Rayleigh–Taylor ~RT! instability is important in a number of research contexts. For the design or analysis of experiments and observations, it is often useful to know the growth exponent of an interface, even when the growth is strongly nonlinear. The growth exponent is defined here as the number of linear e-foldings by which initial perturbations at the interface would be amplified, if the...

LLE Review, Volume 143 125 Introduction In inertial confinement fusion (ICF),1 a shell of cryogenic deuterium (D) and tritium (T) filled with DT gas is imploded with direct laser illumination (direct drive)2 or through an x-ray bath produced inside a laser-irradiated hohlraum (indirect drive).3 Energy from the laser or x ray is absorbed in the plasma near the outer surface of the target, causin...
متن کاملRayleigh-Taylor instability with complex acceleration history.
Experiments and numerical simulations are performed on the Rayleigh-Taylor instability with a complex acceleration history g(t) consisting of consecutive periods of acceleration, deceleration, and acceleration. The dominant bubbles and spikes that grow in the initial unstable phase are found to be shredded by the trailing structures during the stable deceleration phase. This reduces their diame...
متن کاملRayleigh–Taylor instability in nonlinear Schrödinger flow
The Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) is a fundamental fluid instability that occurs when a light fluid is accelerated into a heavier one. While techniques for observing the RTI in classical fluids continue to improve, the instability has not been demonstrated in quantum fluids. Here, we exploit the formal equivalence between condensed matter and coherent nonlinear optics to observe the superfl...
متن کاملBubble acceleration in the ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
The highly nonlinear evolution of the single-mode Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) at the ablation front of an accelerated target is investigated in the parameter range typical of inertial confinement fusion implosions. A new phase of the nonlinear bubble evolution is discovered. After the linear growth phase and a short constant-velocity phase, it is found that the bubble is accelerated to ve...
