Late-Time Mixing Sensitivity to Initial Broadband Surface Roughness in High-Energy-Density Shear Layers
Kirk A. Flippo,Forrest Doss,John Kline,E. C. Merritt,Deanna Capelli,Tana Cardenas,Barbara Devolder,F. Fierro,Channing Huntington,L. Kot,Eric Loomis,Steve MacLaren,Thomas J. Murphy,Sabrina Nagel,T. S. Perry,Randall B. Randolph,Gerald Rivera,Derek Schmidt +17 more
TL;DR: The ability to transition the shear mixing layer from a highly ordered system of coherent structures to a randomly ordered system with a faster growing mix layer is demonstrated, indicative of strong mixing in the layer at a temperature of several tens of electron volts and at near solid density.
