Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has existed as a field of study since the 1970s, but the field
was born out of the Cold War. In the decades since the 1960s, pioneering research …

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 …

In diverse areas of science and technology, including inertial confinement fusion (ICF),
astrophysics, geophysics, and engineering processes, turbulent mixing induced by …

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 …

The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability arises when a shock wave interacts with an interface
separating two different fluids. It combines compressible phenomena, such as shock …

▪ Abstract The ability of turbulent flows to effectively mix entrained fluids to a molecular scale
is a vital part of the dynamics of such flows, with wide-ranging consequences in nature and …

The turbulent Rayleigh–Taylor instability is investigated in the limit of strong mode-coupling
using a variety of high-resolution, multimode, three dimensional numerical simulations NS …

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 …

Collapse and rebound of a cavitation bubble near a wall are revisited with modern
experimental means. The bubble is generated by the optical breakdown of the liquid when a …
