Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

The 1990 National Academy of Science final report of its review of the Inertial Confinement
Fusion Program recommended completion of a series of target physics objectives on the 10 …

This book is on inertial confinement fusion, an alternative way to produce electrical power
from hydrogen fuel by using powerful lasers or particle beams. It involves the compression of …

An analytical model of the nonlinear bubble evolution of single-mode, classical Rayleigh-
Taylor instability at arbitrary Atwood numbers (AT) is presented. The model is based on an …

A “Hamilton-Jacobi” level set formulation of the equations of motion for propagating
interfaces has been introduced recently by Osher and Sethian. This formulation allows fronts …

For many cases of interest to inertial fusion, growth of Rayleigh–Taylor and other
hydrodynamic instabilities is such that the perturbations remain linear or weakly nonlinear …

The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability occurs when a fluid accelerates another fluid of higher
density. 1 The Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability occurs when a shock wave passes a …

The Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability occurs at an interface between two fluids of differing
density during an acceleration. These instabilities can occur in very diverse settings, from …

We study experimentally and theoretically the evolution of two-dimensional patterns in the
Rayleigh—Taylor instability of a thin layer of viscous fluid spread on a solid surface. Various …

The Richtmyer–Meshkov instability of a two‐liquid system is investigated experimentally.
These experiments utilize a novel technique that circumvents many of the experimental …
