Abstract

Introduction of favorable (e.g. combustion within scram-jet engines) or adverse (e.g. inertial confinement fusion) mixing conditions in engineering applications are intensified by the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI). Despite numerous experimental and numerical research, the mechanisms behind RMI-induced small-scale mixing, particularly late-time turbulent mixing and turbulent statistics are not well understood.
