Abstract

An experimental study of the compressible mixing generated by the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) is carried out in a vertical shock tube by means of two-components Laser Doppler Velocimetry (2C-LDV) measurements and Time-resolved Schlieren visualizations. An attempt is made to quantify the RMI-induced air/sulphurhexafluoride (SF6) mixing by measuring turbulence levels inside the mixing zone at a given stage of its development and by extracting the growth rate of the mixing zone from the Schlieren images.
