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 description of turbulent mixing driven by
Rayleigh–Taylor, Richtmyer–Meshkov, and Kelvin–Helmholtz
instabilities. An overview of core concepts and equations is provided,
followed by detailed descriptions of complex and turbulent flows. The
influences of stabilizing mechanisms, rotations, magnetic fields, and
time-dependent accelerations on the evolution of hydrodynamic
instabilities are explained. This book is ideal for advanced
undergraduates as well as graduates beginning research in this
exciting field, while also functioning as an authoritative reference
volume for researchers in the wide range of disciplines for which it
has applications.
