Rayleigh-taylor instability with magnetic fluids : experiment and theory

We present experiments showing the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the interface between a dense magnetic liquid and an immiscible less dense liquid. The liquids are confined in a Hele-Shaw cell and a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the cell. We measure the wavelength and the growth rate a...
