Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

Incompressible rayleigh–taylor turbulence

G Boffetta, A Mazzino - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Basic fluid equations are the main ingredient in the development of theories of Rayleigh–

Stellar turbulent convection: a self-consistent model

VM Canuto, I Goldman, I Mazzitelli - The Astrophysical Journal, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a self-consistent model for stellar turbulent convection that is similar in spirit to
the CM model (Canuto & Mazzitelli 1991) since it accounts for the full spectrum of the …

Effect of viscosity on Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities

KO Mikaelian - Physical Review E, 1993 - APS
We consider the effect of viscosity on Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM)
instabilities by deriving a moment equation for fluids with arbitrary density and viscosity …

Experimental and numerical investigation of the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability under re-shock conditions

Turbulent mixing generated by Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities

KO Mikaelian - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 1989 - Elsevier
Abstract We apply the Canuto-Goldman (CG) analytical model to turbulence generated by
the class of instabilities which have a power-law growth rate. For the case of Rayleigh-Taylor …

A theoretical and experimental investigation of energy-containing scales in the dynamic sublayer of boundary-layer flows

G Katul, CR Chu - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1998 - Springer
The existence of universal power laws at low wavenumbers (K) in the energy spectrum (E u)
of the turbulent longitudinal velocity (u) is examined theoretically and experimentally for the …

High-Rayleigh-number convection in a horizontal enclosure

RJ Goldstein, HD Chiang, DL See - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1990 - cambridge.org
A review of the literature on natural convection in a horizontal layer heated from below
