OSTI ID:899437
Turbulent transport and mixing in the reshocked multi-mode Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is investigated using three-dimensional ninth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory simulations. A two-mode initial perturbation with superposed random noise is used to model the Mach 1.5 air/SF{sub 6} Vetter-Sturtevant [1] experiment. The mass fraction isosurfaces and density cross-sections show the detailed structure before, during, and after reshock. The effects of reshock are quantified using the baroclinic enstrophy production, buoyancy production, and shear production terms. The mixing layer growth agrees well with the experimental growth rate. The post-reshock growth is in good agreement with the Mikaelian reshock model [2].
