Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability Growth Studies in Ion Beam Driven HEDP Experiments

ORAL

Abstract

A Mach type reflection scheme has been used to generate a plane shock wave using a wedge shaped multi-layered target irradiated by an intense heavy ion beam. The shock wave is allowed to pass through a corrogated bounday to study the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. Numerical simulations show that one can study the instability growth in linear and non-linear regime in fluids as well as solids.
