Rayleigh-Taylor Instability in Compressible Media
Abstract
The theoretical work previously done on Rayleigh Taylor instability in compressible fluids has been reviewed in a chapter written for the Encyclopedia of Fluid Mechanics, to be published by Gulf. The physical basis of the instability, the dependence of growth rate on a adiabatic index gamma, and the stability of uniform self similar implosions and expansions are discussed.
