Summary
There is significant simulation and experimental evidence suggesting that hydrodynamic instability induced flows may be dependent on how the initial conditions are set up. The initial surface perturbations, density disparity, and the strength of the shockwaves could all be factors that lead to a completely different flow field in later stages.
