Rayleigh-Taylor instability in compressible fluids: Final report, 1 October 1986-30 September 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5814076
The purpose of this research program is to investigate fluid dynamic instabilities and mixing initiated by the interaction of shock waves with interfaces between light and heavy gases. In particular, the nonlinear stage of shock-initiated Rayleigh-Taylor instability, the secondary instabilities (e.g., the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability) arising therefrom and the concomitant mixing of the two gases are of interest. This report describes activities during the performance period 1 October 1986 to 30 September 1987.
