Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN VIEW OF RADIOASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS AND THERMONUCLEAR EXPERIMENTS VERY STRONG SHOCK WAVES IN A FULLY IONIZED PLASMA ARE THEORETICALLY INVESTIGATED BY HYDRODYNAMICAL METHODS. Including all essential effects of entropy generation the distribution of density and temperatures of ionsAND ELECTRONS ARE COMPUTED WITH THE RESULT THAT THESE TEMPERATURES ARE DIFFERING BY SEVERAL ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE WITHIN THE SHOCK BY RUNNING AN ELECTRON TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE WAVE AHEAD OF THE DENSITY JUMP. Plasma oscillations are excited ahead of the shock front, if the front velocity transgresses the electron sound velocity, leading thus to an instability of the shock structure. (Author).
