In both astrophysical and inertial confinement fusion situations, interface perturbations grow due to hydrodynamic instability development. For nonplanar geometry such as cylindrical or spherical, the radius of the unstable region changes with time, increasing in diverging geometry, decreasing in converging geometry. This changes the effective perturbation wavelength and the density profiles compared to planar geometry, both of which affect the instability evolution. We will present comparative studies of instability development for planar, cylindrical and spherical geometry. Qualitative differences for the three geometries, and expanding versus converging environments will be investigated. This analytical and numerical modeling is being used to design experiments using the Nova laser to emulate the evolution of instabilities in supernovae.^1 *Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by the Lawrence Livemore National Laboratory under Contract W-7405-ENG-48. ^1J.
