Instability of Rarefaction Shocks in Systems of Conservation Laws
It is well-known that rarefaction shocks are urtstable solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. Indeed, for scalar equations rarefaction shocks are unstable in the class of smooth solutions, but for systems one can only say in general that rarefaction shocks are unstable in the larger class of weak solutions. (Here unstable refers to a lack of continuous dependence upon perturbation...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of Richtmyer - Meshkov instability driven by cylindrical shocks ∗
In this paper, a numerical method with high order accuracy and high resolution was developed to simulate the Richtmyer-Meshkov(RM) instability driven by cylindrical shock waves. Compressible Euler equations in cylindrical coordinate were adopted for the cylindrical geometry and a third order accurate group control scheme was adopted to discretize the equations. Moreover, an adaptive grid techni...
متن کاملA current driven instability in parallel, relativistic shocks
Abstract. Recently, Bell [2] has reanalysed the problem of wave excitation by cosmic rays propagating in the pre-cursor region of a supernova remnant shock front. He pointed out a strong, non-resonant, current-driven instability that had been overlooked in the kinetic treatments by Achterberg [1] and McKenzie & Völk [10], and suggested that it is responsible for substantial amplification of the...
متن کاملNonlinear Evolution of Electron Density Under High-Energy-Density Conditions
Evolution of one-dimensional electron system under high-energy-density (HED) conditions is investigated, using the principle of least-action and variational method. In a single-mode modulation model, the amplitude and spatial wavelength of the modulation are chosen to be general coordinates. Equations of motion are derived by considering energy conservation and force balance. Numerical results ...
متن کاملThe Wardle Instability in Interstellar Shocks: I. Nonlinear Dynamical Evolution
The nonlinear evolution of unstable C-type shocks in weakly ionized plasmas is studied by means of time-dependent magnetohydrodynamical simulations. This study is limited to shocks in magnetically dominated plasmas (in which the Alfvén speed in the neutrals greatly exceeds the sound speed), and microphysical processes such as ionization and recombination are not followed. Both two-dimensional s...
