Hydrodynamic instabilities induced by a shock wave can be observed in both natural
phenomena and engineering applications, and are frequently employed to study gas …

Shock-induced instability developments of two successive interfaces have attracted much
attention, but remain a difficult problem to solve. The feedthrough and reverberating waves …

Investigation on the shock-induced finite-thickness fluid-layer evolution is very desirable but
remains a challenge because it not only involves both the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability …

The Richtmyer–Meshkov instability of heavy/light single-mode (SM), trapezoid (TR) and
sawtooth (ST) interfaces is studied experimentally by considering the reshock. The TR and …

Shock-induced light-fluid-layer evolution is firstly investigated experimentally and
theoretically. Specifically, three quasi-one-dimensional helium gas layers with different layer …

Richtmyer–Meshkov instability of the SF6 gas layer surrounded by air is experimentally
investigated. Using the soap film technique, five kinds of gas layer with two sharp interfaces …

Shock-tube experiments on eight kinds of two-dimensional multi-mode air–SF interface with
controllable initial conditions are performed to examine the dependence of perturbation …

'Freeze-out'of amplitude growth, ie the amplitude growth stagnation of a shocked helium–air
interface, is realized through a reflected shock, which produces baroclinic vorticity of the …

Experimental and theoretical studies on the Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instability of
heavy/light gaseous interfaces with reshock are performed. Both small and large initial …

Effects of obstacles on interface evolution and mixing width induced by Richtmyer–Meshkov
instability are investigated experimentally and numerically. In the experiment, the soap film …
