After an incident shock hits a corrugated interface, ripples on reflected and transmitted shocks are induced and RM instability is driven by velocity shear left by the rippled shocks at the interface.

During the contact of a container with a spring,phase inversion of the corrugated interface occurs and velocity shear is induced due to the acceleration.

outline of talk

We first show that the RMI is driven essentially by nonuniform velocity shear induced at an interface, instead of impulsive acceleration.

In early stage of the growth, we show the importance of the interaction between the corrugated interface and rippled shocks through sound wave and entropy wave.

There exist similar instabilities caused by the interaction, such as rippled shock interaction with uniform interface, and instability of the laser ablation surface.

Nonlinear evolution of the instability is analyzed, treating the interface as a vortex sheet with finite density ratio for incompressible fluids.

Nonlinear evolution of the instability in cylindrical geometry is investigated both analytically and with the use of molecular dynamic simulations.

Whenever shocks pass through interface from heavy to light, phase inversion occurs, which causes generation of higher harmonics

Conclusion

・  Both exact and asymptotic linear growth rates of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability and RMI-like instabilities were obtained for compressible and incompressible fluids, which agrees with experiments.

・  By introducing mass weighted interface as a nonuniform vortex sheet between two fluids with finite density ratio, we have developed a fully nonlinear theory of the incompressible RM instability, which also agrees fairly well with experiments.

・  The theory is extended to a cylindrical geometry, in which nonlinear growth is determined from the inward and outward motion rather than bubble and spike, and it depends on mode number.

・  Molecular Dynamic simulation provides a new tool for a study of hydrodynamic instabilities, when CFD fails. We observed enhancement of the growth for sandwiched shell.

New features of such a system with density difference across interface, and nonuniform vorticity may provides a paradigm in vortex dynamics.
