The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of a double-layer interface in convergent geometry with magnetohydrodynamics

The interaction between a converging cylindrical shock and double density interfaces in the presence of a saddle magnetic field is numerically investigated within the framework of ideal magnetohydrodynamics. Three fluids of differing densities are initially separated by the two perturbed cylindrical...
