✦ Synopsis

The interaction of shock waves with spherical and perturbed spherical layers provides an interesting and important class of problems. We present recent results for these and related planar geometry problems. We address the following issues:

1. The accuracy of different numerical solution methods. 2. The magnitude of numerical solution errors and their causes. 3. The development of the instabilities. 4. Reduced descriptions for chaotic flows.
