ABSTRACT

One considers a closed box with vertical boundaries containing two immiscible liquids. The heaviest liquid is above the other one and the interface between them is nearly flat. Gravity is perpendicular to the interface. The initial shape of the interface corresponds to the most unstable mode. The time evolution of the interface should be predicted.
