HED <strong>Test</strong>s <strong>of</strong> ccSN RT Mixing<br />
• Motivated by SN 1987A<br />
• Theoretical foundations provided by HED scaling laws<br />
(D. Rytuov and collaborators)<br />
• Most work devoted to planar, two-layer targets (classic<br />
RT configuration)<br />
• But SN are largely spherical… => spherical targets and<br />
diverging flow configurations<br />
• Much more mass involved than in the planar case, thus<br />
requiring much more energy to drive<br />
• Early attempts (on Omega) unsuccessful (shell<br />
breakup) => NIF!<br />
