Persistence and bimodality of large-scale turbulent structures across a Rayleigh-Taylor layer: Impact on transport and physical modelling through two-field-conditional correlations

R. Watteaux, J. A. Redford, A. Llor

The distribution functions of field fluctuations of the turbulent mixing layer produced by a Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) have long been hypothesized to involve bimodal effect…
