Book excerpt: Investigation of the structure of a shock wave provides an excellent opportunity for studying the dissipation processes in collision-free plasmas. The thickness of collision-free shock waves was previously obtained from measurements of the light emitted by the plasma in a magnetic annular shock tube. The magnitude of the shock thickness, and its Mach number and density dependence are in agreement with a theoretical estimate based on the concept that the required dissipation in the shock is produced by nonlinear interactions between magnetohydrodynamic waves. Further confirmation of these results is discussed. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book provides a contemporary systematic treatment of shock waves in high-temperature collisionless plasmas as are encountered in near Earth space and in Astrophysics. It consists of two parts. Part I develops the complete theory of shocks in dilute hot plasmas under the assumption of absence of collisions among the charged particles when the interaction is mediated solely by the self-consistent electromagnetic fields. Such shocks are naturally magnetised implying that the magnetic field plays an important role in their evolution and dynamics. This part treats subcritical shocks which dissipate flow energy by generating anomalous resistance or viscosity. The main emphasis is, however, on super-critical shocks where the anomalous dissipation is insufficient to retard the upstream flow. These shocks, depending on the direction of the upstream magnetic field, are distinguished as quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel shocks which exhibit different behaviours, reflecting particles back upstream and generating high electromagnetic wave intensities. Particle acceleration and turbulence at such shocks become possible and important. Part II treats planetary bow shocks and the famous Heliospheric Termination shock as examples of two applications of the theory developed in part I.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nonlinear propagation and steepening of waves in a collision-free plasma described by the Chew-Goldberger-Low (CGL) equations are investigated. The steepening characteristics as a function of the angle which the wave vector makes with the magnetic field are completely determined. It is also shown how condensation waves steepen into shock waves. The significant difference between the steepening process of these waves in collision-free plasmas and collision dominated MHD is discussed. (Author).
