Evolution of a two-dimensional air/SF6single-mode interface is numerically investigated by an upwind CE/SE method under a cylindrically converging circumstance. The Rayleigh-Taylor effect caused by the flow deceleration on the phase inversion (RTPI) is highlighted. The RTPI was firstly observed in our previous experiment, but the related mechanism remains unclear. By isolating the three-dimensional effect, it is found here that the initial amplitude (a0), the azimuthal mode number (k0) and the re-shocking moment are the three major parameters which determine the RTPI occurrence. In the variable space of (k0,a0), a criticala0 for the RTPI occurrence is solved for eachk0, and there exists a threshold value ofk0below which the RTPI will not occur no matter whata0is. There exists a specialk0corresponding to the largest criticala0, and the reduction rule of criticala0withk0can be well described by an exponential decay function. The results show that the occurrence of the RTPI requires a smalla0which should be less than a critical value, a largek0which should exceed a threshold, and a right impinging moment of the re-shock which should be later than the RTPI occurrence. Finally, the effects of the incident shock strength, the density ratio and the initial position of the interface on the threshold value ofk0and on the maximum criticala0are examined. These new findings would facilitate the understanding of the converging Richtmyer-Meshkov instability and would be helpful for designing an optimal structure of the inertia confinement fusion capsule.
