Abstract
A linear electric motor has been built to study hydrodynamic instabilities at the interface between fluids subjected to acceleration. The facility is powered by 16 independent capacitor banks to provide arbitrary acceleration profiles up to 1000 times earth’s gravity. Electrical measurements include the current, magnetic field, acceleration, and projectile trajectory. The instability is observed with flash shadowgraphy. The shot turnaround time is <15 min and over 100 shots can be taken before replacing the armature and rails.
