Summary

This book provides an original approach in the research of turbulence on the base of instability evolution. Convective mixing is considered as a principal part of conservation law. Appropriate hydrodynamic instabilities (free developed share instabilities), in particular Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov, are investigated from unique points of view, based on the concept of large ordered structures. The book covers both the fundamental and practical aspects of turbulence and instability, and summarizes the results of numerical experiments conducted over a 30-year period with direct participation of the author.
