The instability of an interface between two media after the passage of two shocks that follow one after the other at a certain time interval is studied numerically. A simple formula suggested earlier (Charakhch'yan 2000 Prikl. Mekh. Tekh. Fiz. 41 28-37) for reshocking a free aluminum surface is confirmed for shocks from aluminum to deuterium ice, from air to helium and from freon to air. The formula describes reshocking at the non-linear stage of the instability evolution and is independent both of the wavelength of the initial perturbation and of the perturbation amplitude at the moment of reshocking. Both a sinusoidal initial perturbation and a perturbation in the form of a broken line are considered. It is demonstrated that the parameters of the second shock that ensure the freezeout phenomenon are determined using only the amplitude growth rate before reshocking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
