The sudden reduction of pressure by chemical reaction or change of state which causes an inrushing of the surrounding medium. (physics) A bursting inward, as in the inward collapse of an evacuated container (such as the glass envelope of a cathode-ray tube) or the compression of fissionable...
Instability growth on such disparate scales as inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsules and the interiors of pre-supernova stars may dramatically influence the evolution of these implosions [3], [4]. Simulations of instabilities in radially-converging flows present extra challenges beyond those ...
