Abstract

The paper addresses Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) problems and presents a method of describing an interface with markers on a Eulerian mesh, which is implemented in the MAH-3 code. The proposed method allows a more accurate description of the evolution of the interface caused by Rayleigh–Taylor perturbations and preserves symmetry of the interface under appropriate symmetry of the problem (planar, cylindrical, and spherical). The method employs an unstructured triangular mesh of makers. Method capabilities are demonstrated on 2D and 3D Rayleigh–Taylor instability problems.
