Scientific paper

Shock waves in a fluid are observed as abrupt changes in all physical parameters of the fluid, such as flow speed, density, pressure and magnetic field, but, most important, in temperature, which ensures that entropy increases from the upstream to downstream side of the shock ramp. For an ordinary shock wave to exist in a fluid, its speed through the fluid must be faster than the speed of sound i...
