In situ observation of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability of liquid Fe and Fe–Si alloys under extreme conditions: Implications for planetary core formation
Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability, which occurs when a heavy fluid overlies a light fluid in a gravitational field, is an important scenario for planetary core formation, especially beneath the planetary magma ocean. This process has been discussed based on numerical simulations and experiments using...
