| Abstract | THE RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION ON SHOCK WAVES AND THEIR INTERACTIONS ARE REPORTED. IF A SINGLE PLANAR STRONG SHOCK WAVE IS PROPAGATED IN A GAS OF UNIFORM DENSITY AND VELOCITY AND NO LARGE SUPPLY OF MOMENTUM IS APPLIED FROM BEHIND, ALL INITIAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF DENSITY, VELOCITY AND TEMPERATURE BEHIND THE FRONT APPROACH THE SAME DISTRIBUTION, CALLED THE STANDARD SOLUTION, ASYMPTOTICALLY AFTER A SHORT PERIOD. RADIATION LOSS IS CALCULATED AND APPLIED TO ASTRONOMICAL DATA. THE LIMITING CASE OF VERY STRONG RADIATION YIELDS THE NONSTEADY ISOTHERMAL SHOCK WAVE. A STUDY OF SHOCK WAVES IN MAGNETIC FIELDS INDICATES THE EXISTENCE OF THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF WAVES. SAMPLE CALCULATIONS ARE MADE FOR THE INTERACTION OF TWO NONSTEADY, PARALLEL, STRONG SHOCK WAVES. THE TREATMENT OF A FIELD OF INTERACTING SHOCK WAVES WITH MONTE CARLO METHODS IS OUTLINED. |
