Abstract

A previously developed model for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at an interface between an elastoplastic solid and a viscous fluid [Piriz, Sun, and Tahir, Phys. Rev. E 88, 023026 (2013)PLEEE81539-375510.1103/PhysRevE.88.023026] has been used for calculating the time evolution of the perturbations in terms of the mechanical properties of the solid and the liquid, as well as of the initial amplitude ξ0 and the wavelength λ of the perturbation. Four kinds of possible evolution are found: two stable and two unstable, depending on their positions in the space of parameters (ξ0,λ). All of them present some features that are independent of the solid properties and that are determined only by the liquid viscosity.
