The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability arises when a shock wave interacts with an interface
separating two different fluids. It combines compressible phenomena, such as shock …

A theoretical framework to study linear and nonlinear Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI) is
presented. This instability typically develops when an incident shock crosses a corrugated …

The paper describes the results of holographic interferometric flow visualization of the
Richtmyer-Meshkov instability induced by cylindrical shock waves propagating across …

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

A universal scaling law for the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability is validated with experimental
results covering a wide range of density ratios and shock strengths. These results include …

A shock driven material interface between two fluids of different density is unstable. This
instability is known as Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instability. In this paper, we present a …

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 …

Richtmyer–Meshkov instability is investigated for negative Atwood number and two-
dimensional sinusoidal perturbations by comparing experiments, numerical simulations and …

Perturbations of small‐amplitude η at the interface between two fluids grow linearly in time
after the passage of a shock. According to Richtmyer's prescription, the growth rate is …

Previous Richtmyer–Meshkov instability experiments carried out in shock tubes have been
hampered by the need to separate the two gases with a thin plastic membrane. As a result …
