When a heavy fluid sits atop a lighter fluid, the interface between the two breaks down through the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. This computation of a 2D interface shows the near fractal behavior of this instability as whorls and eddies of all different scales form and mix the fluids. (submitted by @markjstock)
