We have performed simulations of the evolution of the turbulent Rayleigh–Taylor instability with an arbitrary Lagrange–Eulerian code. The problem specification was defined by Dimonteet al.(2003) for the “alpha group” code intercomparison project. Perfect γ = 5/3 gases of densities 1 and 3 g/cm3are accelerated by constant gravity. The nominal problem uses a 2562× 512 mesh with initial random multiwavelength interface perturbations. We have also run three-dimensional problems with smaller meshes and two-dimensional (2D) problems of several mesh sizes. Under-resolution lowered linear growth rates of the seed modes to 5-60% of the analytic values, depending on wavelength and orientation to the mesh. However, the mix extent in the 2D simulations changed little with grid refinement. Simulations without interface reconstruction gave penetration only slightly reduced from the case with interface reconstruction. Energy dissipation differs little between the two cases. The slope of the penetration distance versus time squared, corresponding to the α parameter inh= αAgt2, decreases with increasing time in these simulations. The slope, α, is consistent with the linear electric motor data of Dimonte and Schneider (2000), but the growth is delayed in time.

The growth of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in three dimensions is ex amined during the deceleration phase of an inertial confinement fusion implosion. A detailed discussion of the three-dimensional hydrocode, PLATO, is presented. A review of previous calculations is given, concentrating on theshape of the R-T instability in three dimensions. Results of the growth rate during the linear phase, the saturation amplitude, and the nonlinear evolution are presented.

Purpose – Modeling of multi-phase flows for Rayleigh-Taylor instability and natural convection in a square cavity has been investigated using an incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) technique. In this technique, incompressibility is enforced by using SPH projection method and a stabilized incompressible SPH method by relaxing the density invariance condition is applied. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is introduced in two and three phases by using ISPH method. The author simulated natural convection in a square/cubic cavity using ISPH method in two and three dimensions. The solutions represented in temperature, vertical velocity and horizontal velocity have been studied with different values of Rayleigh number Ra parameter (103=Ra=105). In addition, characteristic based scheme in Finite Element Method is introduced for modeling the natural convection in a square cavity. Findings – The results for Rayleigh-Taylor instability and natural convection flow had been compared with the previous researches. Originality/value – Modeling of multi-phase flows for Rayleigh-Taylor instability and natural convection in a square cavity has been investigated using an ISPH technique. In ISPH method, incompressibility is enforced by using SPH projection method and a stabilized incompressible SPH method by relaxing the density invariance condition is introduced. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is introduced in two and three phases by using ISPH method. The author simulated natural convection in a square/cubic cavity using ISPH method in two and three dimensions.

The nonlinear stage in the growth of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in three dimensions (3D) is studied using a 3D multimaterial hydrodynamic code. The growth of a single classical 3D square and rectangular modes is compared to the growth in planar and cylindrical geometries and found to be close to the corresponding cylindrical mode, which is in agreement with a new Layzer-type model for 3D bubble growth. The Atwood number effect on the final shape of the instability is demonstrated. Calculations in spherical geometry of the late deceleration stage of a typical ICF pellet have been performed. The different late time shapes obtained are shown to be a result of the initial conditions and the high Atwood number. Finally, preliminary results of calculations of two-mode coupling and random perturbations growth in 3D are presented.
