Description

The asymptotic behavior of the hydrodynamic Rayleigh-Taylor instability is analyzed. A solution is constructed through a Fourier-series expansion. A system of equations for the amplitudes of the harmonics up to the sixth, inclusively, is constructed. This system of algebraic equations, with a high-order nonlinearity, can be solved exactly.
