Magnetohydrodynamic Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability

The Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability occurs when an interface between fluid of different densities is accelerated by a shock wave. When one or both of these fluids is conducting, it can react to the presence of a magnetic field. The resulting magnetohydrodynamic effects can suppress the mixing normally observed in the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability.
