The authors have performed aperture measurements and simulations for vacuum hohlraums heated by wire array implosions. A low-Z plastic coating is often applied to the aperture to create a high ablation pressure which retards the expansion of the gold hohlraum wall. However, this interface is unstable and may be subjects to the development of highly nonlinear perturbations (jets) as a result of shocks converging near the edge of the aperture. These experiments have been simulated using Lagrangian and Eulerian radiation hydrodynamics codes.
