Abstract
Shock accelerated interfaces are of great fundamental interest in fluid mechanics. They are of significant importance to high speed combustion applications including supersonic combustion [1]. In addition, they have been attributed as a source of significant mixing in supernovae [2], and are one of the major obstacles in attaining positive-net-yield inertial confinement fusion [3].
