Numerical investigation of Richtmyer - Meshkov instability driven by cylindrical shocks ∗

چکیده
In this paper, a numerical method with high order accuracy and high resolution was developed to simulate the Richtmyer-Meshkov(RM) instability driven by cylindrical shock waves. Compressible Euler equations in cylindrical coordinate were adopted for the cylindrical geometry and a third order accurate group control scheme was adopted to discretize the equations. Moreover, an adaptive grid technique was developed to refine the grid near the moving interface to improve the resolution of numerical solutions. The results of simulation exhibited the evolution process of RM instability, and the effect of Atwood number was studied. The larger the absolute value of Atwood number, the larger the perturbation amplitude. The nonlinear effect manifests more evidently in cylindrical geometry. The shock reflected from the pole center accelerates the interface for the second time, considerably complicating the interface evolution process, and such phenomena of reshock and secondary shock were studied.

متن کاملNon-linear dynamics of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in supernovae
We report analytical and numerical solutions describing the evolution of the coherent structure of bubbles and spikes in the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in supernovae. It is shown that the dynamics of the flow is essentially non-local, and the nonlinear Richtmyer-Meshkov bubble flattens and decelerates.
متن کاملCritical magnetic field strength for suppression of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in plasmas.
The critical strength of a magnetic field required for the suppression of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) is investigated numerically by using a two-dimensional single-mode analysis. For the cases of magnetohydrodynamic parallel shocks, the RMI can be stabilized as a result of the extraction of vorticity from the interface. A useful formula describing a critical condition for magnetohyd...

UWFDM-1171 Experiments on the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability I: Preparation of a Membraneless Interface Using the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
A large number of experimental investigations of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (a shock-induced interfacial instability) in the past have been carried out in shock tubes. In order to separate the two gases prior to the shock arrival, a plastic membrane, on the order of one micron thick, was often used. There is considerable uncertainty regarding the effects of the membrane and membrane frag...
