Description
We investigate the evolution of the separation between an adiabatic and a radiative shock. The contact discontinuity between the two gases is subject to the Rayleigh- Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instability with radiative cooling. These dynamics will be studied experimentally for the first time in the optically thin regime using a laser-driven shock configuration. The shock will propagate in a box filled with helium and xenon gases separated by a thin membrane. The shocked helium will be the adiabatic reverse shock and the shocked xenon will be the radiative transmitted shock.
