Early-Time Stability of Decelerating Shocks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the decelerating shock instability of Vishniac for a finite layer of constant density. This serves both to clarify which aspects of the Vishniac instability mechanism depend on compressible effects away from the shock front and also to incorporate additional effects of finite layer thickness. This work has implications for experiments attempting to reproduce the essential physics of astrophysical shocks, in particular their minimum necessary lateral dimensions to contain all the relevant dynamics. Subject headings: hydrodynamics – instabilities – shock waves

On the Decelerating Shock Instability of Plane-Parallel Slab with Finite Thickness
Dynamical stability of the shock compressed layer with finite thickness is investigated. It is characterized by self-gravity, structure, and shock condition at the surfaces of the compressed layer. At one side of the shocked layer, its surface condition is determined via the ram pressure, while at the other side the thermal pressure supports its structure. When the ram pressure dominates the th...
متن کاملExternal Shocks, UHECRs, and the Early Afterglow of GRBs
— Highly variable γ-ray pulses and X-ray flares in GRB light curves can result from external shocks rather than central engine activity under the assumption that the GRB blast-wave shell does not spread. Acceleration of cosmic rays to > ∼ 10 eV energies can take place in the external shocks of GRBs. Escape of hadronic energy in the form of UHECRs leads to a rapidly decelerating GRB blast wave, ...
متن کاملFetus, Fasting, and Festival: The Persistent Effects of In Utero Social Shocks
The Fetal Origins Hypothesis (FOH), put forward in the epidemiological literature and later flourished in the economics literature, suggests that the time in utero is a critical period for human development. However, much attention has been paid to the consequences of fetal exposures to more extreme natural shocks, while less is known about fetal exposures to milder but more commonly experience...

Monetary and credit policies, however, are widely accepted by economists and policymakers as a means of stabilizing the real sector of the economy and achieving sustainable economic growth. However, macroeconomic shocks, in turn, affect the stability of the banking system and real sectors of the economy, including the housing market. Therefore, the study of the impact of macroeconomic shocks o...
متن کاملEffect of Exchange Rate Change Shocks on Systemic Risk Index Among Mutual Funds
Financial stability is amongst the issues that have been increasingly considered over the past two decades. Today, money and capital markets play a substantial role in the development of societies, but at the same time, this development will be problematic if it is not accompanied by a program, control, and supervision. The main reason is that, due to the correlation between the real and financ...
