The Effect of Spatially Varying Collision Frequency on the Development of the Rayleigh–Taylor Instability

The Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability is ubiquitously observed, yet has traditionally been studied using ideal fluid models. Collisionality can vary strongly across the fluid interface, and previous work demonstrates the necessity of kinetic models to completely capture dynamics in certain collisiona...
