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

Basic fluid equations are the main ingredient in the development of theories of Rayleigh–
Taylor buoyancy-induced instability. Turbulence arises in the late stage of the instability …

This paper presents a computationally efficient, two-dimensional, feature point tracking
algorithm for the automated detection and quantitative analysis of particle trajectories as …

A series of laboratory experiments has been conducted in order to elucidate the sediment‐
induced mixing processes accompanying riverine outflows; specifically, the discharge of a …

The density front bounding a gravity current is usually highly unstable and this leads to
mixing between the fluid of the gravity current and that of the surroundings. This mixing plays …

The location of the asymptotic virtual origin of positively buoyant turbulent plumes with a
deficit of initial momentum flux when compared with equivalent pure plumes is investigated …

This paper describes an experimental investigation of mixing due to Rayleigh–Taylor
instability between two miscible fluids. Attention is focused on the gravitationally driven …

This paper describes the fluid mechanics of natural ventilation by the combined effects of
buoyancy and wind. Attention is restricted to transient draining flows in a space containing …

Self-similar plane solutions for the inertial stage of gravity currents are related to the initial
parameters and a coefficient that is determined by the boundary condition at the front …

The self-similar evolution to turbulence of a multi-mode Rayleigh–Taylor mix at small density
differences (slope, similar to other canonical turbulent flows. A scaling argument is …
