Abstract

We consider the two-dimensional Rayleigh–Taylor problem for the dynamics of the free interface Γ between two layers of immiscible viscous liquids. For a slow flow model (which corresponds to the case of a small relative jump of density) and under sufficiently wide assumptions on the geometry of Γ, we analyze the time dynamics of Γ. In particular, we prove that its increase in time t is bounded by an exponential function with exponent independent of Γ.
