Go to Wikipedia to see: (Raleigh Taylor instability)
RT instability is because of density variation..... when a denser fluid floating on the lighter fluid it will make a unstable condition that is called Rayleigh Taylor instability..
The instability of the interface separating two fluids having different densities when the lighter fluid is accelerated toward the heavier fluid is known as Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Rayleigh-Taylor instability is buoyancy-driven instability and occurs in several types of fluid flows that contain different variety of molecular masses in the presence of acceleration, such as gravity or accelerating fronts.
is an instability of an interface between two fluids of different densities which occurs when the lighter fluid is pushing the heavier fluid.
