Popis: A vertical shock tube built for the study of Rayleigh‐Taylor instability induced turbulent mixing is described. The first results obtained by schlieren visualization concern the interaction between a Mach 1.45 shock wave and subsequent reflected waves and a 1.7 cm wide diffusive SF6‐air mixing zone. The mixing zone behavior is compared to the evolutions obtained in other analogous experiments with the help of a turbulence model in a one‐dimensional code.
