The time-asymptotic stability of shocks in cosmic-ray hydrodynamics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Extract
The nonlinear behaviour of short-wavelength perturbations in the two-fluid cosmic-ray hydrodynamical model is examined. We show that such a perturbation leads to shock formation and derive the appropriate wave equation. We show that a discontinuous perturbation incident on a weak cosmic-ray shock destabilizes, in a time-asymptotic sense, the shock.
