Abstract
The classical gravitational instability of a layer of denser fluid overlying a layer of less dense fluid, commonly known as the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, has been studied for well over a hundred years. In this article, we present the results of numerical simulations of a variant of this instability in which a plug of dense fluid is released from rest in a thin channel between two flat, vertical walls, causing a downward acceleration of the entire fluid column and formation of boundary layers near the walls. The plug of dense fluid undergoes distinctly different evolution near the walls and in the fluid interior. The instability in the interior, which we label the “hammerhead” instability based on its shape, is robust over a range of physical parameters, but disappears below a threshold Schmidt number. Fluid near the wall is slowed, and thin tendrils that link the near wall fluid to the main body of the fluid plug form, and in some cases undergo their own instability. We characterize the fully three-dimensionalized state, finding that while bulk measures of kinetic energy three-dimensionalization do not discriminate between low and high Schmidt number cases, the geometric distributions of the dynamical parameters Q and R from the turbulence literature are profoundly different in the high Schmidt number case. Finally, we consider the role of shear in situations in which the two plates are not exactly vertical, demonstrating that shear diminishes the importance of three-dimensionalization, while the hammerhead instability remains relevant.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
