By imploding fuel of hydrogen isotopes, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) aims to create
conditions that mimic those in the Sun's core. This is fluid dynamics in an extreme regime …

Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

Proton imaging has become a key diagnostic for measuring electromagnetic fields in high-
energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas. Compared to other techniques for diagnosing …

We study the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability in relativistic collisionless plasma, as an
astrophysical process for nonthermal particle acceleration. We consider dense plasma on …

The effects of electron nonlocal heat transport (NLHT) on the two-dimensional single-mode
ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability (ARTI) up to the highly nonlinear phase are reported for …

Shock-driven hydrodynamic instabilities in a plasma usually lead to interfacial mixing and
the generation of electromagnetic fields, which are nonequilibrium processes coupling …

The magnetic fields generated at the surface of a laser-irradiated planar solid target are
mapped using ultrafast proton radiography. Thick (50 μ m) plastic foils are irradiated with 4 …

High energy density physics (HEDP) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research typically
relies on computational modeling using radiation-hydrodynamics codes in order to design …

The first experimental demonstration of Rayleigh-Taylor-induced magnetic fields due to the
Biermann battery effect has been made. Experiments with laser-irradiated plastic foils were …

Structures evoking vortex rings can be discerned in shock-accelerated flows ranging from
astrophysics to inertial confinement fusion. By constructing an analogy between vortex rings …
