Hydrodynamic Instabilities and Turbulence: Rayleigh-Taylor, Richtmyer-Meshkov, and Kelvin-Helmholtz Mixing

Turbulent mixing induced by hydrodynamic instabilities is found in many high- and low- energy-density regimes, ranging from supernovae to inertial confinement fusion to scramjet engines. While these applications have long been recognized, unprecedented advances in both computational and experimental tools have provided novel, critical insights to the field. Incorporating the most recent theoretical, computational, and experimental results, this title provides a comprehensive yet accessible ...
