ABSTRACT
Our theoretical work has shown that rotating a Rayleigh-Taylor-unstable two-layer stratification about a vertical axis slows the development of the instability under gravity and can stabilize axisymmetric modes indefinitely. Here we compare theoretical predictions directly with our experiments on a rotating two-layer system which is made unstable by magnetic forces applied using a superconducting magnet.
