Abstract

The influence of boundary roughness on suppressing of Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) at the interface between two superposed couples-stress fluids is investigated in the present paper. This is a theoretical study is based on fully developed approximations for deriving the growth rate of RTI at the interface between two fluids. Thus, it is found that the couple-stress parameter and boundary roughness have stabilization effect, whereas the buoyancy force (surface tension) has destabilize the system. Hence the study favors to control the growth rate of RTI.
