ar X iv : a st ro - p h / 05 10 30 5 v 1 1 1 O ct 2 00 5 Hydraulic / Shock - Jumps in Protoplanetary Disks

In this paper, we describe the nonlinear outcome of spiral shocks in protoplan-etary disks. Spiral shocks, for most protoplanetary disk conditions, create a loss of vertical force balance in the post-shock region and result in rapid expansion of the gas perpendicular to the disk midplane. This expansion has characteristics similar to hydraulic-jumps, which occur in incompressible fluids. We pre...
