The Instability of Liquid Surfaces when Accelerated in a Direction Perpendicular to their Planes. I

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when two superposed fluids of different densities are accelerated in a direction perpendicular to their interface, this surface is stable or unstable according to whether the acceleration is directed from the heavier to the lighter fluid or vice versa.

Instability of the interface of two gases accelerated by a shock wave

E. E. Meshkov
- 01 Jan 1972 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of the stability of the interface of two gases traversed by ash-wave was conducted and it was found that the interface is unstable both in the case of shock wave passage from the lighter to the heavier gas and for passage in the opposite direction.
