چکیده
The nonlinear analysis of the combined effect of magnetic field and compressibility on the growth rate of Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability has been investigated for inviscid two fluid interface. We have considered an interface-parallel density dependent magnetic field and used Layzer’s approach to analyze the problem. We have also investigated the relative effect of magnetic pressure and hydrodynamic pressure on RT instability through the variation of the ratio of hydromagnetic pressure to magnetic pressure (β). Dynamics of bubble and spike has been studied analytically and numerically. Finally, we have obtained the stability conditions of our result through linear stability analysis

Rayleigh-Taylor Instability of a Compressible Plasma with Finite Larmor Radius Effects
The Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a compressible plasma in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field is investigated, taking into account the effects of finite Larmor radius. Only transverse perturbations are considered. The problem is shown to be characterized by a variational principle. Using it, the dispersion relation is obtained for a plasma layer of finite thickness and having an expon...
متن کاملVariational Approach to Nonlinear Gravity-driven Instabilities in a Mhd Setting
Abstract. We establish a variational framework for nonlinear instabilities in a setting of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. We apply a variational method to various kind of smooth steady states which are shown to be nonlinearly unstable for both incompressible and compressible ideal MHD equations. Destabilizing effect of compressibility is justified as well as stabilizing effect o...
متن کاملRayleigh-Taylor Instability in a Compressible Fluid
Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a compressible fluid is reconsidered. The density is allowed to vary with pressure under the barotropy assumption. For the case with equal speeds of sound in the two superposed fluids, in order to give a non-trivial compressibility correction to the Rayleigh-Taylor growth rate, the compressibility correction is calculated to O(g/ka). To this order, compressibility...

In this study, the effects of Prandtl number on the primary and secondary instability of the Rayleigh-Benard convection problem has been investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. Two different cases as Pr=5.8 and 0.7 representing the fluid in liquid and gas conditions are examined. A body forces scheme of the lattice Boltzmann method was presented. Two types of boundary conditions in the...
متن کاملAblative Rayleigh-Taylor Instability: Compressibility Effects
Rayleigh-Taylor instability of an ablation front is one of the main issues that determine the performance of an inertial fusion target. In the last few years we have improved our understanding of this instability thanks to several analytical and semianalytical models developed mainly for the regime of relatively short perturbation wavelength λ (kL0 << 1 and k=2π/λ is the perturbation wave numbe...
