Показать описание
This little showcase video of the simulation of fluid mixing, shows the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The red fluid on top has a slightly higher density than the blue one below. Driven by the influence of gravity, small instabilities form, that cause a slow onset of mixing between the two fluids. The video plays 3 times faster than real time.
The original video with some additional information can be found here:

Some basic information about the instability can be found here:

An interesting artistic application of this (with much higher viscosities and other differences in the fluid properties than in our simulation):
