Rayleigh-taylor Instability

Rayleigh-Taylor Instability is a hydrodynamic instability, belonging to the class of interfacial instabilities in fluid dynamics, that arises when a heavier fluid is accelerated into a lighter fluid, leading to the exponential growth of perturbations at the interface due to an adverse density gradient.
