Nonstationary shock waves in a low-density plasma

Numerical methods are used to study nonstationary collisionless shocks in a plasma propagating at some arbitrary angle to the unperturbed magnetic field in cases where the electrical conductivity and electron thermal conductivity have finite values.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 10–15, May–June, 1973.The author thanks Yu.
