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 theory of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of accelerated fluid layers is systematically
developed from basic fluid equations. Starting with the classical potential flow theory for …

We consider the effect of viscosity on Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM)
instabilities by deriving a moment equation for fluids with arbitrary density and viscosity …

Investigation on the shock-induced finite-thickness fluid-layer evolution is very desirable but
remains a challenge because it not only involves both the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability …

We study the linear stability of an arbitrary number N of cylindrical concentric shells
undergoing a radial implosion or explosion. We derive the evolution equation for the …

The two-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in compressible flow with
intermolecular interactions is probed via the discrete Boltzmann method. The effects of …

Richtmyer–Meshkov instability of the SF6 gas layer surrounded by air is experimentally
investigated. Using the soap film technique, five kinds of gas layer with two sharp interfaces …

Richtmyer–Meshkov instability causes spatially periodic perturbations initially imposed on a
shock-accelerated, thin gas layer to develop into one of three distinct flow patterns. Planar …

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

The present study investigates the behavior of multi-layer Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI)
and enstrophy transport in the flow using a three-dimensional computational framework. The …
