Two variants of optical imaging velocimetry, specifically the one-dimensional streaked line-
imaging and the two-dimensional time-resolved area-imaging versions of the Velocity …

Two interacting supersonic water jets and collisions of a water jet with an aluminum target
are studied experimentally and by hydrodynamic simulations. Supersonic water jets form …

Ejecta microjets offer an experimental methodology to study high-speed particle laden-flow
interactions, as microjets consist of millions of particulates traveling at velocities of several …

Structures evoking vortex rings can be discerned in shock-accelerated flows ranging from
astrophysics to inertial confinement fusion. By constructing an analogy between vortex rings …

We present a novel method for investigating laser-driven dynamic fragmentation in tin using
in situ X-ray diffraction. Our experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the method for …

Under intense shock, metal interface disturbances grow due to the Richtmyer–Meshkov
instability, leading to fragmentation into small ejecta particles. Understanding the dynamics …

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) megajoule laser at the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (LLNL) has produced a significant amount of useful physics results related to …

Recent experiments of laser-driven ejecta microjets performed at OMEGA 60 reveal tortuous
jets whereby the jets appear to deviate from their initial trajectory as they travel in vacuum …

In this paper, we perform a numerical and experimental study of the second ejection from a
grooved tin surface under laser-driven shock loading. First, the second ejection under laser …

The elastic-plastic Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of multiple interfaces is investigated by
numerical simulation using a multimaterial solid mechanics algorithm based on an Eulerian …
