Simultaneous direct measurements of concentration and velocity in the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability
TLDR
In this paper, the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability was investigated in a vertical shock tube using a broadband initial condition imposed on an interface between a helium-acetone mixture and argon (Atwood number when considering both density and velocity effects in planar turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) measurements).Abstract:
The Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI) is experimentally investigated in a vertical shock tube using a broadband initial condition imposed on an interface between a helium–acetone mixture and argon (Atwood number when considering both density and velocity effects in planar turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) measurements.read more

Turbulent Mixing and Transition Criteria of Flows Induced by Hydrodynamic Instabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, a pedagogical review of hydrodynamic instability-induced turbulent flows is presented, with a focus on the initial conditions of such flows and accurately predicting the transitional flows.

Turbulence theories and statistical closure approaches
TL;DR: A review of the history of modern turbulence theory can be found in this paper, where Kolmogorov's analysis of the turbulent cascade and inertial range is considered as a landmark work.
Experiments on the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability with an imposed, random initial perturbation
TL;DR: In this paper, a vertical shock tube is used to perform experiments on the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability with a three-dimensional random initial perturbation, where a membraneless flat interface is formed by opposed gas flows in which the light and heavy gases enter the shock tube from the top and from the bottom of the driven section.

The transition to turbulence in shock-driven mixing: effects of Mach number and initial conditions
TL;DR: Mohaghar et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effects of incident shock strength on the mixing transition in the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) using simultaneous density-velocity measurements.

The Instability of Liquid Surfaces when Accelerated in a Direction Perpendicular to their Planes. I
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when two superposed fluids of different densities are accelerated in a direction perpendicular to their interface, this surface is stable or unstable according to whether the acceleration is directed from the heavier to the lighter fluid or vice versa.

TL;DR: The 1990 National Academy of Science final report of its review of the Inertial Confinement Fusion Program recommended completion of a series of target physics objectives on the 10-beam Nova laser at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as the highest priority prerequisite for proceeding with construction of an ignition-scale laser facility as mentioned in this paper.
