Abstract

We describe the evolution of the large-scale coherent structure of bubbles and spikes in the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability. Our multiple harmonic analysis accounts for a non-local character of the nonlinear dynamics. A new type of the evolution of the bubble front is found. A comparison to so-called “Layzer-type” local models is performed.
