We present analytic formulas for the nonlinear evolution of the bubble amplitude in Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities in two and three dimensions. Direct numerical simulations of He/Xe shock tube experiments are also presented and the results are found to agree well with the analytic formulas which are based on an extension of Layzer{close_quote}s theory [Astrophys.J.{bold 122}, 1 (1955)]. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
