Scientific paper

We report on further experimental investigations of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability from an initially nonlinear perturbation, conducted on the Nova laser. The experiments use a Nova hohlraum as a driver source for a strong shock in a miniature shock tube attached to the hohlraum. The shock tube contains brominated plastic and low-density carbon foam as the two working fluids, with a micro-machined sawtooth interface between them serving as the perturbation. The shock, upon crossing the interface, instigates the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability from the perturbation. The resulting growth of the mixing layer is diagnosed radiographically. We have previously reported upon a results from a single wavelength and amplitude of perturbation (T. A. Peyser et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.) 75, 2332 (1996).. A study of the effect of variations in amplitude and wavelength on the nonlinear growth of the instability will be discussed.
