Abstract: A problem of evolution of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability on a sinusoidally perturbed interface in the field of artificial gravity is studied on the basis of the model of a three-velocity three-temperature mixture of gases. If the upper part of the mixture consists of the light and heavy gases (the heavy gas is heavier than the pure gas at the bottom, but the mixture as a whole is lighter than the pure gas), it is demonstrated that the growth of perturbations with formation of mixture jets penetrating into the pure gas is observed in a certain range of concentrations of the heavy gas.

Keywords: Rayleigh–Taylor instability, gas-dynamics of a three-velocity three-temperature mixture.
