Corrugation instability of radiative shock waves in a relativistically hot plasma

The corrugation instability of magnetic shock waves in a relativistically hot plasma with photon gas has been investigated. Conditions under which spontaneous amplification of surface corrugations on the discontinuity occurs are obtained. The corrugation instability may cause the condensation of the...

Zusammenfassung:The corrugation instability of magnetic shock waves in a relativistically hot plasma with photon gas has been investigated. Conditions under which spontaneous amplification of surface corrugations on the discontinuity occurs are obtained. The corrugation instability may cause the condensation of the plasma number density, as well as the magnetic field behind the shock wave.
