The Richtmyer–Meshkov instability of a ‘V’ shaped air/helium interface subjected to a weak shock

The Richtmyer–Meshkov instability of a ‘V’ shaped air/helium gaseous interface subjected to a weak shock wave is experimentally studied. A soap film technique is adopted to create a ‘V’ shaped interface with accurate initial conditions. Five kinds of ‘V’ shaped interfaces with different vertex angle...
