Numerical simulation of the hydrodynamic instabilities of Richtmyer-Meshkov and Rayleigh-Taylor

Abstract

The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the development of hydrodynamic instabilities of Richtmyer-Meshkov and Rayleigh-Taylor encountered in experiments [1-3]. For the numerical solution used the TPS software package (Turbulence Problem Solver) that implements a generalized approach to constructing computer programs for a wide range of problems of hydrodynamics, described by the system of equations of hyperbolic type. As numerical methods are used the method of large particles and ENO-scheme of the second order with Roe solver for the approximate solution of the Riemann problem.
