Abstract: | In this paper, a numerical method with high order accuracy and high resolution was developed to simulate the Richtmyer-Meshkov(RM)
instability driven by cylindrical shock waves. Compressible Euler equations in cylindrical coordinate were adopted for the
cylindrical geometry and a third order accurate group control scheme was adopted to discretize the equations. Moreover, an
adaptive grid technique was developed to refine the grid near the moving interface to improve the resolution of numerical
solutions. The results of simulation exhibited the evolution process of RM instability, and the effect of Atwood number was
studied. The larger the absolute value of Atwood number, the larger the perturbation amplitude. The nonlinear effect manifests
more evidently in cylindrical geometry. The shock reflected from the pole center accelerates the interface for the second
time, considerably complicating the interface evolution process, and such phenomena of reshock and secondary shock were studied.
