Freeze-out and the failure of Richtmyer`s prescription

In the standard Richtmyer-Meshkov instability, perturbations at a shocked interface grow after the passage of a shock. Freeze-out refers to the phenomenon whereby the perturbations do not grow, i.e., freeze-out, after the passage of a shock. This is fairly straightforward, at least theoretically (no experiments have been done so far) in a doubly shocked system. The first shock induces a growth which can be completely neutralized by a second shock, provided that the direction and the strength and timing of the second shock are properly chosen. This type of double-shock freeze-out occurs in compressible as well as incompressible fluids, and is easy to understand. Somewhat more subtle is single-shock freeze-out; in the pursuit of this phenomenon, the author found that in certain cases Richtmyer`s prescription fails to give the correct growth rate.
