Plasma shock waves widely exist and play an important role in high-energy-density
environment, especially in the inertial confinement fusion. Due to the large gradient of …

A Discrete Boltzmann Model (DBM) based on the Shakhov model for detonation is
proposed. Compared with the DBM based on the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) model, the …

The propagation of shock waves in different geometries is crucial in engineering and
scientific applications. A comprehensive model is developed to elucidate the hydrodynamic …

On the basis of the mesoscopic theory of Boltzmann-type velocity distribution function, the
modified Boltzmann model equation describing the one-dimensional gas flows from various …

The propagation of ion acoustic shock waves in cylindrical and spherical geometries has
been investigated. The plasma system consists of cold ions, Boltzmannian electrons and …

The evolution of collisional planar plasma shocks is investigated by using a hybrid fluid-
particle-in-cell code, which enables the analysis of the impact of ion kinetic effects. The …

The cylindrical and spherical Korteweg–de Vries–Burger equations have been derived to
study the ion acoustic converging and diverging shock waves. The considered plasma is …

A shock wave that is characterized by sharp physical gradients always draws the medium
out of equilibrium. In this work, both hydrodynamic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium …

I gratefully acknowledge the valuable contributions made to this work by my adviser Prof.
Joel Ferziger. I would also like to thank Prof. Anthony Leonard and Prof. Donald Baganoff for …

The characteristics of shock waves in a relativistic plasma in the presence of nonisothermal
electrons and nonisothermal negative ions is investigated by deriving the evolution equation …
