Hydrodynamic instabilities such as Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM)
instabilities usually appear in conjunction with the Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability and are …

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

A generalization of the Lees-Edwards periodic boundary conditions (gLE-PBC) for
molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is developed to allow for arbitrary deformations to be …

There exists anecdotal evidence that ejecta research began in the 1950s, but little of this
early research was documented publicly. In Russia, the ejecta phenomenon was first …

We report experimental results from an initial study of reactive and nonreactive metal
fragments—ejecta—transporting in vacuum, and in reactive and nonreactive gases. We …

The microscopic-scale Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI) of a single-mode dense-gas
interface is studied by the molecular dynamics approach. Physically realistic evolution …

We present size distributions for particles ejected from features machined onto the surface of
shocked Sn targets. The functional form of the size distributions is assumed to be log …

We compare, at similar scales, the processes of microjetting and ejecta production from
shocked roughened metal surfaces by using atomistic and continuous approaches. The …

Material ejection upon the breakout of a shock wave at a rough surface is a key safety issue
for various applications, including pyrotechnics and inertial confinement fusion. For a few …

We perform very large scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the ejection
process from shock-loaded tin surfaces in regimes where the metal first undergoes solid to …
