Zemplén's theorem for the shock waves of collisionless anisotropic plasmas

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

The consequences of the second law of thermodynamics are treated in the case of the shock waves of collisionless plasmas in the Chew—Goldberger—Low approximation. The density and at least one of the two pressures are found to have a positive jump on the strong discontinuity surface.
