Multiplicity of routes from deterministic chaos to turbulence in the flows induced by Rayleigh-Taylor instability

Abstract: The multiplicity of routes from deterministic chaos to turbulence caused by the spontaneous breaking of the local reflectional symmetry in the flows induced by Rayleigh-Taylor instability has been studied using the notion of distributed chaos. Results of numerical simulations, and laboratory and oceanic measurements have been used for this purpose. Small-scale chaotic MHD dynamo and chaotic Richtmyer-Meshkov mixing layer have been briefly discussed in this context.
