The Development of Compression Waves in an Adiabatic Two-Fluid Model of a Collision-Free Plasma

Description: "A generalized discontinuous solution was found for the adiabatic two- fluid equations in the steady state: it covers the case of strong shocks and enables a complete account to be made of the steady state solutions of these equations. By considering a piston problem using numerical methods, time dependent solutions of the equations were also found; these rapidly steepened and converged to the discontinuous steady state solutions whenever these existed."
