Abstract
An analytic model is presented to calculate the growth rate of the linear Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in the shock-reflected case. The model allows us to calculate the asymptotic contact surface perturbation velocity for any value of the incident shock intensity, arbitrary fluids compressibilities, and for any density ratio at the interface. The growth rate comes out as the solution of a system of two coupled functional equations and is expressed formally as an infinite series. The distinguishing feature of the procedure shown here is the high speed of convergence of the intermediate calculations. There is excellent agreement with previous linear simulations and experiments done in shock tubes.
