There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
------
In this thesis, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability effects in the setting of the Navier-Stokes equations, given some three-dimensional and incompressible fluids, are investigated. The existence and the uniqueness of the temperature variable in the weak form are established under suitable initial and boundary conditions, and by the contraction mapping principle we investigate further the conditions for the solution to belong to some continuous class; then a positive minimum temperature result can be proved, and with the aid of the RT instability effect in the density and the velocity, the instability for the temperature is established.
