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

The instability of a heavy gas layer (SF 6 sandwiched by air) induced by a cylindrical
convergent shock is studied experimentally and numerically. The heavy gas layer is …

Structures evoking vortex rings can be discerned in shock-accelerated flows ranging from
astrophysics to inertial confinement fusion. By constructing an analogy between vortex rings …

This paper discusses a strategy to initialize a two-dimensional (2D) Reynolds-averaged
Navier–Stokes model [LANL's Besnard–Harlow–Rauenzahn (BHR) model] in order to …

The coupling of Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI) and Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI),
referred to as RM-KHI, on a shock-accelerated inclined single-mode air–SF. The linear …

This paper characterizes the refraction of a triple-shock configuration at planar fast–slow gas
interfaces. The primary objective is to reveal the wave configurations and elucidate the …

The subject of this work is the development of compact analogs of vortex flows models,
which are used in the modeling of vortex structures observed during the flight of an aircraft …

Inertia-dominated hydrodynamic instabilities at material interfaces are ubiquitous
phenomena observed in nature and man-made applications, spanning core collapse …
