The nonlinear evolution of the Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability is investigated using numerical simulations with the FLASH code in two-dimensions (20). The purpose of the simulations is to develop a nonlinear model of the RM instability that is accurate to the regime of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and ejecta formation, namely, at large Atwood number A and initial amplitude kh{sub o} (k {triple_bond} wavenumber) of the perturbation. The FLASH code is first validated by obtaining excellent agreement with RM experiments well into the nonlinear regime. The results are then compared with a variety of nonlinear models that are based on potential flow. We find that the models agree with simulations for moderate values of A and kh{sub o} but not for the values characteristic of ICF and ejecta formation. As a result, a new nonlinear model is developed that captures the simulation results consistent with potential flow and for a broader range of A and kh{sub o}.
