The triangular bubble is filled with neon, helium, or hydrogen gas, and is surrounded by nitrogen gas. Three different shock Mach numbers are considered: Ms=1.12,1.21, and 1.41. For the numerical simulations, a two-dimensional system of compressible Euler equations for two-component gas flows is solved by utilizing the high-fidelity explicit modal discontinuous Galerkin technique. For validation, the numerical results are compared with the existing experimental results and are found to be in good agreement. The numerical model explores the impact of the Atwood number on the underlying mechanisms of the shock-induced forward-triangle bubble, encompassing aspects such as flow evolution, wave characteristics, jet formation, generation of vorticity, interface features, and integral diagnostics. Furthermore, the impacts of shock strengths and positive Atwood numbers on the flow evolution are also analyzed. Insights gained from this numerical perspective enhance our understanding of RM phenomena triggered by forward-triangular light gas bubbles, with implications for diverse applications in engineering, astrophysics, and fusion research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms13060365","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,29]],"date-time":"2024-05-29T06:58:07Z","timestamp":1716965887000},"page":"365","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Analyzing Richtmyer\u2013Meshkov Phenomena Triggered by Forward-Triangular Light Gas Bubbles: A Numerical Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6669-5296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satyvir","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied and Computational Mathematics, RWTH Aachen University, 52062 Aachen, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Graphic Era Deemed to be University, Dehradun 248002, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0186-0526","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed Hussein","family":"Msmali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Science, Jazan University, P.O.
