We have simulated the 3D growth of a Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the expanding envelope of SN 1987A using the Adaptive Mesh Refinement Scheme utilizing a resolution of 4096−3. When the sinusoidal velocity perturbation amplitude is 10%, heavy element tongues of the He/H interface penetrate into the envelope with a high velocity.
