Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of molecular mixing on the evolution of a reactive Rayleigh-Taylor turbulent mixing zone. In this regard, we derive algebraic relations showing that an increase in the mixing level leads to a slowing of the growth of the mixing zone width. We also show the existence of a maximum displacement velocity of the mixing zone center. These predictions are assessed using both direct numerical simulations and large eddy simulations.
