Scientific paper

A simulation of quasi-parallel (QP) collisionless shock waves is used to deduce the dispersive and viscous scale lengths of QP shocks. The findings were found to be consistent with the observational results obtained by Scudder et al. (1984) and Kennel et al. (1984). It is shown that the upstream wavelength is the dispersive scale length which governs the magnetic-field structure of the shock. It is also shown that the two-stage ion heating obtained by Mandt and Kan (1988) is an intrinsic characteristic of the ion heating process in QP shocks.
