Abstract
Computation of three‐dimensional (3‐D) Rayleigh–Taylor instability in compressible fluids is performed on a MIMD computer. A second‐order TVD scheme is applied with a fully parallelized algorithm to the 3‐D Euler equations. The computational program is implemented for a 3‐D study of bubble evolution in the Rayleigh–Taylor instability with varying bubble aspect ratio and for large‐scale simulation of a 3‐D random fluid interface. The numerical solution is compared with the experimental results by Taylor.Keywords
