Resumen
We present in this work a numerical study of solutions of the Rayleigh-
Taylor instabilities by using some polynomial upwind schemes based
on limitation criteria TVD/CBC of Gaskell and Lau and WENO re-
constructions. We use at the convective terms the upwind schemes
MUSCL, Van Leer, TDPUS-C3, SuperBee, MindMod, Van alba (see
[1] and [2] ) and WENO5, WENO9 schemes (see [3]) .
The purpose of this work is realize a numericaly study of implementa-
tion of these upwind schemes develope that complex internal structures
of this phenamenon. The numerical solutions was obtained with the
same conditions from QIu and Shu work.([3]). Numerical solutions will
be tested with the schemes UPWIND MUSCL, Van Leer, TDPUS-C3,
SuperBee, MindMod, Van alba and WENO5, WENO9 schemes. The
solutions are compared with those obtained from [1], [3], [4] where
WENO apporach is implemented at the convective terms.
