Abstract
An experimental and numerical study on the shock wave passage from one gas to another through a two-dimensional (2D) interface has been carried out. The curvature and intensity of the rarefaction and reflection waves have been found to determine the character of the following interface evolution. Three main regimes of the shock-induced discontinuous interface evolution are described.
