    Abstract
    The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) occurs when a perturbed interface separating fluids with different densities is impulsively accelerated, typically by a shock wave [1, 2]. Fig. 1(a) shows the canonical situation where the RMI occurs. The effect of the instability on the interface is shown in Fig. 1(b): it has become highly distorted, which can lead to significant mixing between the two fluids. When the fluids involved are in the plasma state, the RMI can be affected by a magnetic field [3]. This can clearly be seen by comparing Fig. 1(b), which shows simulated postshock- interaction density contours when no magnetic field is present, and Fig. 1(c), which shows the result of an identical simulation carried out in the presence of a normal magnetic field. The observed suppression of the instability in this case is caused by changes to the shock refraction process at the interface with the application of a magnetic field that leave the interface vorticity free [4].

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
