چکیده

Experiments to study the mixing between two gases induced by the RichtmyerMeshkov instability are performed in a vertical shock tube of large, square internal cross section. The test gas is contained in an axisymmetric soap bubble which is at rest on an injector and is seeded with smoke to perform planar Mie scattering. Concurrently to the laboratory experiments, a computational investigation is carried out using the Raptor code– a finite volume code that solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equations using a Riemann solver with Phil Colella’s Piecewise Linear Method for data reconstruction at cell interfaces. Differences between the computational and the laboratory experiments include: perfectly spherical vs. near-spherical, axisymmetric shape; diffuse interface with no soap film vs. soap interface with no diffusion; absence vs. presence of an injector to hold the bubble in place. Examples of experimental and computational images of shock-accelerated bubbles are shown below.

UWFDM-1172 Experiments on the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability II: Nonlinear Evolution of a Shocked Membraneless Single-Mode Sinusoidal Interface

An experimental investigation of the shock-induced interfacial instability (RichtmyerMeshkov instability) is undertaken in an effort to study temporal evolution of interfacial perturbations in the nonlinear regime. The experiments are performed in a vertical shock tube with a square cross-section. A membraneless interface is prepared by retracting a sinusoidally shaped metal plate initially sep...

UWFDM-1159 Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability of an Interface Prepared by Removal of a Sinusoidal Plate

Shock tube experiments for the study of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability are presented. The shock tube is vertical with a square inner cross section. Two new techniques are used to prepare the interface and to determine its initial shape, prior to shock-acceleration. The interface is prepared by retracting a sinusoidally shaped plate initially separating CO2 from air at atmospheric pressure. T...

instability development

We discuss the results of experiments that illustrate some features of a turbulent mixing zone (TMZ) structure at a gas–liquid interface (Rayleigh–Taylor instability) and at a gas–gas interface accelerated by shock waves (Richtmyer–Meshkov instability). The important feature is the existence of a heavier substance concentration (density) jump at the interface between the heavy medium and the TM...
