The purpose of this presentation is to describe the basic phenomenology of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, from its early linear phase to its late turbulent and self-similar regime. Simple experiments are performed to illustrate this phenomenology. fluid mechanics - Rayleigh-Taylor instability - turbulence
