Box 808, Livermore, CA 94551This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344and by the DOE National Nuclear Security Administration under Award Number DE-FC52-08NA286.Ulerich, SchillingLLNL-PRES-46265221 November 2010 1 / 9
 
Background and Objectives
A WENO-based code was developed to aid Reynolds-averagedNavier–Stokes (RANS) model assessment for hydrodynamic instabilities
Rayleigh–Taylor instability impacts many applications such asinertial confinement fusion and supernovae
•
DNS of Navier–Stokes equations is accurate but expensive
•
RANS inexpensively describes statistical moment evolution
•
Instabilities challenging for RANS models due to variabledensity, inhomogeneity, nonstationarity, and anisotropyDevelop a nonoscillatory, shock-capturing gasdynamics code to
•
simulate multi-species hydrodynamic instabilities
•
facilitate
N 
-equation RANS model closure evaluation anddevelopmentInvestigate Rayleigh–Taylor instability and mixing, including
•
comparing RANS models with self-similar solutions
•
measuring mixing statistics and DNS, RANS equation budgets
•
assessing advanced model closures
