摘要：
A novel experimental technique using solid fuel rocket motors, has been developed at AWRE Foulness to study the growth of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in fluids. The technique, which achieves near constant accelerations up to 750 m s** minus **2 over distances of 1. 25 m, is currently providing results for comparison with the theoretical studies on interfacial mixing by D. L. Youngs.
