Caption: Figure 5.
Main: the spherical harmonic power spectrum, C(ℓ) (Equation (12)), for the fluctuations in the radial displacement vector, δξr (Equation (8)). δξr directly probes the corrugations of the contact discontinuity. Each spectrum corresponds to an SNR from Figure 4, as indicated in the legend. Inset: C(ℓ) compensated by the (a) spectrum, C(a)(ℓ), to show which harmonics are growing with respect to the youngest SNRs in Figure 4. The C(ℓ) admit to a power law C(ℓ) ∝ ℓ−8/3, which I show is consistent with 2D R. H. Kraichnan (1967) turbulence, Equation (13), that is self-generated on the thin shell, as discussed in Section 4.1.
