ON COLLISIONLESS SHOCK WAVES IN PLASMA (in Russian)

OSTI ID:4138455
Starting from the affirmation of the ergodical structure of a shock wave in a collisioniess plasma immersed in a magnetic field the lengths of dissipation and of isotropization of the pressure tensor are estimated. The rise of the ion temperature exceeds that of the electrons. If the magnetic and hydrostatic pressures have the same order of magnitude, the dissipation takes place within the Debye lengih for shock waves of moderate strength. The pressure tensor becomes isotropic within the Larmor radius of the ion. (auth)
