Abstract: The two-dimensional simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor instability perturbation growth of an initial perturbed copper interface under explosive loading are performed to study the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of metal interface under high pressure and high strain rate loading.A numerical simulation model for the perturbation growth behavior of metal interface is established based on the two-dimensional finite difference code AUTODYN,and the effects of initial perturbed characteristics and material strength property on the perturbation growth behavior of metal interface are mainly analyzed.The simulated results show that the growth of the pre-perturbed copper interface is closely related to its perturbated initial wavelength and amplitude,and a critical amplitude exists.For the stable case,the ultimate perturbation amplitude after a transient phase increases with the increase in the initial wavelength if the initial amplitude is smaller than the critical amplitude; and the growth behavior is opposite for the unstable case when the initial amplitude is larger than the critical amplitude.The initial thickness of plate is also an important factor for perturbation growth,and there is a critical thickness related to initial perturbation characteristics. In the preliminary stage of perturbation growth,the strength of material has no influence on the perturbation amplitude growth,and the yield strength of material can greatly reduce Rayleigh-Taylor growth rate at the later stage of Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth; and the effect of shear module can be neglectful to a certain extent in the period of perturbation growth.
