Simulations of fluid mixing, driven by Rayleigh-Taylor instability, show agreement with experimental data for both miscible and immiscible fluids. Key findings highlight the impact of physical parameters and bubble merger dynamics on mixing rates.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Computational physics
  • Plasma physics

Background:

  • Rayleigh-Taylor instability is a fundamental phenomenon in fluid dynamics.
  • Accurate simulation of fluid mixing is crucial for understanding various physical processes.
  • Previous models often struggled to incorporate physical mass diffusion and surface tension accurately.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To simulate and analyze mixing rates of Rayleigh-Taylor instability with physical parameters.
  • To investigate the influence of compressibility and scale-breaking phenomena on mixing.
  • To develop and utilize tools for analyzing bubble merger processes.

Main Methods:

  • Employed an improved front tracking algorithm for enhanced simulation accuracy.
  • Incorporated physical values for mass diffusion and surface tension in simulations.
