National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Turbulence and Interfacial Mixing (Final Report, November 15, 1997-December 31, 2004).

DE2005837847

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Glimm, J.; Li, X.
Page Count	26
Abstract	Mixing results from the instability of an interface separating distinct fluids. We consider acceleration driven instabilities, with a density discontinuity at a fluid interface. Constant acceleration defines the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability, while impulsive acceleration (as by a shock wave) yields the Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability.
Keywords	Turbulence Mixtures Rayleigh-Taylor instability Simulations Fluids Acceleration Shock waves Density Mathematical models Richtmyer-Meshkov instability
