Design for a high energy density Kelvin–Helmholtz experiment

While many high energy density physics (HEDP) Rayleigh–Taylor and Richtmyer–Meshkov instability experiments have been fielded as part of basic HEDP and astrophysics studies, not one HEDP Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) experiment has been successfully performed. Herein, a design for a novel HEDP X-ray driven...

Summary:While many high energy density physics (HEDP) Rayleigh–Taylor and Richtmyer–Meshkov instability experiments have been fielded as part of basic HEDP and astrophysics studies, not one HEDP Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) experiment has been successfully performed. Herein, a design for a novel HEDP X-ray driven KH experiment is presented along with supporting radiation-hydrodynamic simulation and theory.
