Abstract
We carry out numerical simulations of the temporally-evolving infinite-Schmidt number mixing-layer between density-contrasted streams (ρblack/ρwhite = 3). The primary KH-billow is seeded with an eigen-perturbation at t=18. As hinted by Reinaud, Joly and Chassaing (Phys. Fluids 2000), a secondary instability develops on the light side of the main structure. If seeded earlier at t=13, the secondary instability develops on a longer wavelength. The larger central secondary billow break-ups in ternary roll-ups due to the same mechanism as the previous generation. The growing demand for spatial resolution requires that the last stages be resolved on a 10 000 X 10 000 grid.
