21. It makes little difference if the initial conditions (surface perturbations) are replaced by local density perturbations that are parallel to the orthogonal mesh but give the same areal mass nonuniformity. In either case, the evolution of the mass quickly results in a sharp density gradient (the ablation surface) that is not aligned on the mesh, and thus sources for nonlinearity.
