The Structure of Radiative Shock Waves
The structure of steady plane-parallel radiative shock waves propagating through the hydrogen gas undergoing partial ionization and excitation of bound atomic states is investigated in terms of the self-consistent solution of the equations of fluid dynamics, radiation transfer and atomic kinetics. The shock wave model is represented by a flat finite slab with no incoming radiation from external...
متن کاملShock Waves for Radiative Hyperbolic–elliptic Systems
The present paper deals with the following hyperbolic–elliptic coupled system, modelling dynamics of a gas in presence of radiation, ( ut + f(u)x + Lqx = 0 −qxx +Rq +G · ux = 0, x ∈ R, t > 0, where u ∈ R, q ∈ R and R > 0, G, L ∈ R. The flux function f : R → R is smooth and such that ∇f has n distinct real eigenvalues for any u. The problem of existence of admissible radiative shock wave is cons...
متن کاملEnhanced OH in C-Type Shock Waves in Molecular Clouds.
Cosmic-ray and X-ray ionizations in molecular gas produce a weak far-ultraviolet flux through the radiative decay of H2 molecules that have been excited by collisions with energetic electrons (the Prasad-Tarafdar mechanism). I consider the effect of this dissociating flux on the oxygen chemistry in C-type shocks. Typically, a few percent of the water molecules produced within the shock front ar...
متن کاملGalloping instability of viscous shock waves
Motivated by physical and numerical observations of time oscillatory “galloping”, “spinning”, and “cellular” instabilities of detonation waves, we study Poincaré–Hopf bifurcation of traveling-wave solutions of viscous conservation laws. The main difficulty is the absence of a spectral gap between oscillatory modes and essential spectrum, preventing standard reduction to a finite-dimensional cen...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Radiative Shock Waves: Linear and Nonlinear Evolution
The stability properties of one-dimensional radiative shocks with a power-law cooling function of the form Λ ∝ ρT are the main subject of this work. The linear analysis originally presented by Chevalier & Imamura, is thoroughfully reviewed for several values of the cooling index α and higher overtone modes. Consistently with previous results, it is shown that the spectrum of the linear operator...
