Scientific paper

The behavior of shock waves in a weakly ionized nonisothermal plasma is analyzed. The properties of an argon plasma at the precursor and behind the shock front are studied in detail. The energy parameters of the shock wave are estimated on the basis of the physical mechanism proposed by Gorshkov et al. (1984): conversion of some of the energy of the shock into the kinetic energy of neutral particles ahead of the shock front. Estimates of the pressure, temperature, and velocity of the argon plasma gas are also obtained. It is shown that a high temperature precursor to shock wave acceleration occurs whenever a shock wave enters a preheated gas. The application of the analytical results to corresponding gasdynamic, plasma, and astrophysical problems is briefly discussed.
