Parallel computations of 3-D Rayleigh-Taylor instability

Results are described of computations of 3-D compressible Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The instability is an important mixing mechanism in a variety of flows such as supernovae and inertial confinement fusion. The code uses Flux Corrected Transport to solve the Euler equations of hydrodynamics. Results of the simulations have been characterized by considering differing resolutions and in terms of growth-rates, Mach number evolution, pattern formation, and (weakly) turbulent structures.
