Answer
Fluid dynamics is the study of the behavior of fluids, which include both liquids and gases. The Rayleigh–Taylor instability is a phenomenon that occurs when a fluid of lower density is placed on top of a fluid of higher density. The denser fluid pushes up on the less dense fluid, causing it to rise.
