文摘This paper improves the discrete vortex method for modeling Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and Rayleigh-Tay- lor instability by proper choice of velocity weighted average coefficients, redistribution of markers and successive adding of computational points with the increase of interfacial deformation and gives the numerical results of Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The numerical results show that the first two techniques greatly enhance the ability of the discrete vortex method for modeling large interracial deformations and the last technique greatly reduces the computational amounts of the numerical modeling at large deformation stage. The numerical modeling of Rayleigh- Taylor instability not only reproduces some phenomena such as the roll up at the end part of the spike observed in experiments but also finds some new phenomena such as the splashes at the roll up parts which needs to be tested by experiment.
