Magnetic Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) experiments incorporates laser preheating a deuterium fuel prior to Z-pinch compression in order to facilitate amendable convergence ratios. The laser energy deposition imparts axial and radial velocities to the fuel, potentially generating Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (KHI) on the inside layer of the magnetized beryllium target. In order to quantify the impact of KHI on subsequent radiative losses due to relatively high-Z material mix into the fuel hot-spot, code verification for the KHI in MagLIF-like targets are crucial. In this talk we will present verification efforts to determine the physical feasibility and robustness of the KHI in such scenarios as an extension of the work by Lecoanet et al. (2016) [1].
