Evolution of unsteady jets in the Rayleigh-Taylor instability

The paper concerns the temporal evolution of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two superimposed fluids in a vertical channel. At large times the instability results in<b> </b>the formation of a wide nearly-steady bubble of the lighter fluid rising through the channel, and thin long unst...
