Abstract
When a shock wave passes through an interface between two fluids with different properties, the reflected, transmitted and refracted waves will be produced and the baroclinic vorticity will be deposited on the interface due to the misalignment of the pressure and the density gradients. Under the action of the produced vorticity, the shape of the interface will be distorted and ultimately, the fluids will mix with each other thoroughly. This interface instability is well known as the Richtmyer- Meshkov (RM) instability [1, 2].
