Simulations of Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities using a stochastic front tracking method

From MaRDI portal





This work uses a recent front tracking method and Lagrange-Projection approach in order to simulate Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities.\N\NThe model used is the two-fluid Euler model. The Lagrange step solves the convection part using Eulerian or Lagrangian fluxes depending on the interface. The projection step then uses the elements of the Glimm's random update method.\N\NThe results are first presented on a Sod shock tube problem in order to show that the interface remains sharp. The code is then run with two Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities (air/SF6 and air/helium). The results of this two tests are compared with experimental data and show a good agreement.\N\NFuture work will focus on incorporating both surface tension and molecular diffusion in order to better match the experimental results.
