| Research Abstract |
Under the influence of the gravity, when a heavy fluid is placed on top of a light fluid, the two fluids soon become turbulent and mix each other. This turbulent flow is known as Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence. Since it is one of the most frequently seen turbulent flows in our everyday life, understanding the nature of the turbulent fluctuation and its mixing properties has a significant value. In the present study, we measure functional dependence (so-called scaling law) of the turbulent velocity and density fluctuations on the time and spatial scales by using numerical experiments.
