On the structure of ionizing shock waves in magnetofluiddynamics

For planner motion of plasma, the structure of such shock waves are stated in terms of a system of four-dimensional equations. In this paper,...

| Summary: | Ionizing shock waves in magnetofluiddynamics occur when the
coefficient of electrical conductivity is very small ahead of the
shock and very large behind it. For planner motion of plasma, the
structure of such shock waves are stated in terms of a system of
four-dimensional equations. In this paper, we show that for the
above electrical conductivity as well as for limiting cases, that
is, when this coefficient is zero ahead of the shock and/or is
infinity behind it, ionizing fast, slow, switch-on and switch-off
shocks admit structure. This means that physically these shocks
occur. |
