An analytical model for the initial growth period of the planar Richtmyer–Meshkov instability
is presented for the case of a reflected shock, which corresponds in general to light-to-heavy …

We present a scaling relation for Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of incompressible fluids. The
relation is tested using both numerical and experimental data. We obtain a collapse of …

When a planar shock hits a corrugated contact surface between two fluids, hydrodynamic
perturbations are generated in both fluids that result in asymptotic normal and tangential …

Front tracking simulations of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability produce significantly better
agreement with experimentally measured growth rates than obtained in nontracking …

An analytic model is presented to calculate the growth rate of the linear Richtmyer-Meshkov
instability in the shock-reflected case. The model allows us to calculate the asymptotic …

We report on experiments to measure the shock-induced growth of sinusoidal perturbations
on thick interfaces separating two gases of different densities. The results show that the …

We report the first experiments on divergent shock-driven Richtmyer–Meshkov instability
(RMI) at well-controlled single-mode interfaces. These experiments are performed in a novel …

Abstract We investigate the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) in converging geometries
analytically and computationally. The linear, or small amplitude, regime is first covered as it …

The late-time development of Richtmyer–Meshkov instability is studied in shock tube
experiments. This investigation makes use of the experimental apparatus and visualization …

The instability of an annular helium gas layer surrounded by air with sinusoidal inner and
outer interfaces, formed by a novel soap-film technique, impacted by a cylindrically …
