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 cloud of very fast, O (km/s), and very fine, O (µm), particles may be ejected when a strong
shock impacts and possibly melts the free surface of a solid metal. To quantify these …

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

The dynamic fragmentation of shock-loaded high-Z metal is of considerable importance for
both basic and applied science. The areal density and mass-velocity distribution of dynamic …

Temperature is a difficult thermodynamic variable to measure in dynamic compression
experiments. Optical pyrometry is a general-purpose technique for measuring temperature …

This manuscript investigates reactive-versus hydrodynamic-breakup processes of ejecta.
For this study, the reactive metal is cerium (Ce) and the nonreactive metal is tin (Sn), the …

Abstract We present a Richtmyer–Meshkov instability based model for the ejected mass per
unit area produced when a shockwave impinges upon a free surface with specified surface …

Precise temperature determination is a significant challenge in extreme environments of
dynamic compression studies. How can radiance measurements taken in high-pressure …

The interaction of shock-induced ejecta with gas beyond the free surface is a critical
unsolved issue and being investigated broadly. Using models containing micrometer-sized …
