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).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work covered by this report is part of an experimental program to study oblique shock waves in plasma. The support from DASA under this contract was for the continuation of the experimental program with particular regard to measurements on shock using light scattering techniques. The measurements made on the Texas oblique shock experiment were first detailed investigation of the magnetic and electronic structure of the oblique shock. Compared to the fairly extensive body of information which exists on shocks moving perpendicular to the magnetic field, there had previously been only very scanty results on oblique shocks. This was largely because the oblique shock has a larger scale length (approx. c/omega sub pi) than the perpendicular shock (approx. c/omega sub pe), and consequently experiments designed from the onset to study the oblique shock, and was significantly larger in scale (50 cm diameter) than most shock experiments. The experiment has yielded unique information about the structure of oblique shocks.

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.

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.
