关于中间激波的回顾与展望

中间激波是传统理论认为在物理上不可能实现的一类激波，但是，近年来在数值模拟中发现了它的结构，因此，在国际上引发了中间激波研究的高潮．本文首先系统地回顾了中间微波的研究历史和发展，给出了传统的激波演化性理论，并通过引用演化性理论，否定了中间激波的稳定存在．然后，介绍了近年来在中间激波方面的工作及进展情况，最后阐述了我们的一些看法．

REVIEW AND PROSPECT OF MHD INTERMEDIATE SHOCK

Traditionally,intermediate shock was considered as the kind of shock which is unevolutionary. A great interest in studying intermediate shock hasbeen shown since its structure was discovered in MHD simulation recently. Inthis paper, a review is made on its history and progress and the traditional evolution theory. Based on the evolution theory, the existance of intermediate shock is excluded.A brief introduction of the new achievements in that fieldand some of our comments are also presented here.
