• The two-dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occurring in two immiscible co-currently moving horizontal liquid layers is studied numerically, using the volume-of-fluid method. To initialize the wave development, two different perturbation terms are implemented into the model. A three-component liquid system toluene-water-acetone is chosen, and both hydrodynamic and mass transfer studies are carried out. Numerical results are in a good agreement with experimental observations as well as the linear theory of instability.
