Collisionless Shock Waves

  • Chapter
Physics of Hot Plasmas

Abstract

The first upsurge of interest in plasma shock waves was stimulated by the possibility of heating ions rapidly to thermonuclear temperatures. Under these conditions the plasma and the shock would necessarily be free from classical binary collisions, that is collisionless. More recently, however, interest has centred on geophysical and astrophysical phenomena, in which the same collisionless conditions prevail.
