Abstract

Past decades significantly advanced our understanding of Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) mixing. We briefly review recent theoretical results and numerical modelling approaches and compare them with state-of-the-art experiments focusing the reader's attention on qualitative properties of RT mixing.

Keywords: Kolmogorov turbulence; Rayleigh–Taylor instability; group theory; high energy density plasmas; scaling invariance; turbulent mixing.
