The Physics of the Earth’s Collisionless Shock Wave
A fast mode collisionless bow shock is a permanent feature of the solar wind interaction with the earth. The shock is approxim_ately stationary in earth coordinates, its structure, however, changes in space due to different B; values, and in time, due to different solar wind conditions (Mach number M and 8, T,/ TI...). The earth's bow shock has revealed itself as an impressive tool for studying...
متن کاملStrong Relativistic Collisionless Shock
A direct numerical simulation of a strong relativistic collisionless shock propagating into an unmagnetized medium has been performed in two spatial dimensions. It is found that: (i) collisionless shock exists, (ii) particle acceleration is insignificant, (iii) the shock does not generate “quasi-static” magnetic fields, contrary to recent claims by other authors. All our results agree with a si...
متن کاملPeriodic Wave Shock solutions of Burgers equations
In this paper we investigate the exact peroidic wave shock solutions of the Burgers equations. Our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution in the cauchy problem for viscid equation with small parametr ε and to discuss in particular the case of periodic wave shock. We show that the solution of this problem approaches the shock type solution for the cauchy problem of the in...

متن کاملTowards a parallel collisionless shock in LAPD
Using a high-energy laser to produce a super-Alfvénic carbon-ion beam in a strongly magnetized helium plasma, we expect to be able to observe the formation of a collisionless parallel shock inside the Large Plasma Device. We compare early magneticfield measurements of the resonant right-hand instability with analytical predictions and find excellent agreement. Hybrid simulations show that the c...
