Plasma-Magnetic Shocks offers a rigorous, math-driven look at shock structure in magnetized high‑temperature plasmas.
The work compares different dissipation mechanisms and shows how a fully collisionless, two‑fluid approach can lead to pulse‑like transitions instead of traditional shocks.
Written for researchers and students, this edition frames the problem with conservation laws for mass, momentum, and energy, alongside Maxwell’s equations, then builds a clear path from basic assumptions to the nature of singularities and possible solutions. It blends classical hydrodynamics ideas with plasma physics to explore when shocks can exist and what shapes their transitions might take.
Ideal for readers of advanced plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics who want a mathematically grounded view of shock phenomena in ionized fluids.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into plasma-magnetic shocks, a complex phenomenon occurring in high-temperature, collisionless plasmas within magnetic fields. The author explores the properties of these plasmas using equations that account for mass, momentum, and energy conservation, along with Maxwell's equations. The stress terms in these equations are derived from guiding-center theory, providing a more accurate representation of the plasma's behavior compared to traditional Navier-Stokes stress terms. The central finding is that, in this system of equations, there is no shock solution; instead, the only possible transition is a pulse, a result with broader implications for the study of shock phenomena in ionized fluids.
