Fig. 2

Experimental data and results of simulations. In order for the simulation results to reproduce the shock positions, the energy flux driving the dense plastic was reduced to 78% of its nominal value. The simulated and observed radiographs are shown for a the high-flux and b the low-flux cases. The simulated radiographs are post-processed results from CRASH simulations. c and d show the feature position vs time for the high-flux and low-flux cases, respectively. Shock, spike, and bubble positions for the simulation results are shown with solid lines and the experimental data points have an error roughly the size of the data point. The simulations were performed in Cartesian (xy) geometry
