This thesis provides a consistent framework for the analysis of initial-data uncertainties in experimental investigations of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. The influence of numerical model uncertainties on the late-time evolution of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is also systematically quantified. This analysis helps to overcome existing inconsistencies between numerical and experimental investigations. Furthermore, results from direct numerical simulations are presented, which for the first time allow to understand the smallest flow scales of shock-induced turbulent mixing.
