Characterization of the Compressible Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability

ompressible Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability is examined with direct numerical simula- tions. We first verify the inviscid regime and then investigate the characteristics of compressible KH within a thermal–nonequilibrium framework. Thorough grid convergence studies are conducted, and validation is achieved through recovery of the expected inertial-range scaling of
