Non-neutral Plasma Shock 工 HU Xiwei（胡希伟） HE Yong （何勇） Hu Yemin（胡业民） Huazhong University of Science and Techonology 2006.10.25 Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China Outline Introduction Motivation One dimensional case Two dimensional case (with magnetic field produced by shock current) The electrostatic instabilities on the non-neutral shock front Introduction to non-neutral plasma shock Plasma shock Plasma shock can arise: when a fluid velocity is larger than the ion sound velocity (without magnetic field) or the Alfven velocity (with magnetic field) . A steady shock (or shock front, shock profile) is the result of a balance between compressive and dissipative effects. Front, Upstream and Downstream Shock front (or shock profile): a steady wave-front, propagating at supersonic speed through the undisturbed fluid. Upstream⑴: the unshocked (undisturbed) fluid before the shock front Downstream⑵: the shocked fluid (disturbed) behind the front The neutral plasma shock In most cases, we describe the plasma shock with the single (neutral) fluid or magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. So the plasma shock is neutral essentially. In neutral plasma shock there may be plasma current and magnetic field, but there is not charge separation and electrostatic field. Electric field in the front The ion fluid elements will run ahead of the electron fluid elements due to its larger inertial. This causes a charge separation, then a electrostatic field E and a potential difference Δφ between the up- and down stream. Effects of electric field in front (I) The electric field E will hold back the ion fluid elements and draw the electron fluid elements. This effect is similar the role of dissipation in the formation of steady shock (shock front or profile). So, the E could play very important role in the formation of plasma shock profile, especially the collisionless (non-dissipative) shock profile. Effects of electric field in fro
