Abstract:In this paper, the late-time description of immiscible Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in a long duct is investigated over a comprehensive range of the Reynolds numbers (1 ≤ Re ≤ 10000) and Atwood numbers (0.05 ≤ A ≤ 0.7) based on the mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann method. We first reported that the instability with a moderately high Atwood number of 0.7 undergoes a sequence of distinguishing stages at a high Reynolds number, which are termed as the linear growth, saturated velocity growth, reacceleration and … Show more
