| Abstract | A collection of visualizations that convey a basic understanding of buoyancy-driven mixing is presented. Buoyancy-driven mixing resulting from the Rayleigh-Taylor instability occurs in a unstably stratified flow when a heavy fluid rests above a light fluid. The difficulty of creating an unstable density stratification and repeatable fluid interface has made studying the Rayleigh-Taylor instability a challenging task. Our experiments utilize a water channel and most recently a gas channel (low speed wind tunnel). The experimental configuration allows unstable perturbations to develop into a mixing layer as they travel downstream. Thus resulting in a repeatable experiment and statistically steady flow. Various visualization techniques have been used to observe the development of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Visualizations using Nigrosene dye as a fluid marker are shown in the evolution of single and binary mode perturbations due to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. In contrast, visualizations of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability developed from multi-mode perturbations are seen for the gas channel using both fog and smoke to visualize the flow. Together these techniques help provide an understanding for the nature and complexity of buoyancy driven mixing. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
