Turbulent mixing induced by hydrodynamic instabilities occurs when two fluids of different densities, velocities, and viscosities interact. Theoretical, experimental, and numerical efforts to understand and predict the dynamics of hydrodynamic instabilities are very important for science and engineering applications. Statistical convergence and turbulence quantification are crucial for achieving reliable and accurate modeling and simulations. In this talk, we present an increasingly accurate and robust front-tracking/ghost-fluid method with higher-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory schemes used for the numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov Instabilities. We investigate the time evolution of velocity fields and fluctuations for different configurations to explore the scaling law of the energy spectrum.
