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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small amplitude near-steady oblique shock waves in a collisionless plasma are possible at Alfven Mach numbers 1 and cos theta. In the first case, either the magnetic pressure decreases monotonely or the head of the wave is near-periodic. In the second case, a main wavefront is followed by an oscillatory tail. (Author).

Book excerpt: The report discusses an experiment designed to study collisionless shock waves in an inverse pinch discharge using argon. A magnetic disturbance was generated which propagated ahead of the driving field at twice the piston speed. Measurements of the magnetic and electric field structures, electron density and temperature, as well as ion velocities revealed that the disturbance was produced by a beam of plasma moving through the ionized ambient plasma rather than by a true shock wave. Calculations of ion trajectories using measured electric fields demonstrated that the beam originated at small radii and early times, and was not the result of a steady specular reflection from the piston field. It is concluded that the ions comprising this stream, which were collisionless relative to the ambient ions, did not couple to the background plasma even though a strong magnetic field was applied.

Book excerpt: Collisionless shock waves are a very important heating mechanism for plasmas and are commonly found in space and astrophysical environments. Collisionless shocks were studied in the laboratory more than 20 years ago, and more recently in space via in situ satellite measurements. The authors propose a new laboratory shock wave experiment to address unresolved issues related to the differences in the partition of plasma heating between electrons and ions in space and laboratory plasmas, which can have important implications for a number of physical systems.

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).

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).
