Abstract

One considers a phenomenon that has been observed in some experimental works [1, 2], confirmed by an analysis based on the assumption of a bimodal shape of the distribution functions inside the SW [1] and by computations using the Monte Carlo simulation method [3–5]. The phenomenon consists of an excess of high-energy molecular collisions inside the SW in a gas mixture compared to the value behind the wave. It was found that the excess of such collisions is most expressed for gas mixtures with high difference of concentrations and molecular masses of the components.
