High Mach number shocks in young supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to simultaneously place a large fraction of the supernova explosion energy in relativistic particles and amplify the ambient magnetic field by large factors. Continuing our efforts to model this strongly nonlinear process with a Monte Carlo simulation, we have incorporated the effects of the dissipation of the self-generated turbulence on the shock structure and thermal particle injection rate. We find that the heating of the thermal gas in the upstream shock precursor by the turbulence damping significantly impacts the acceleration process in our thermal pool injection model. This precursor heating may also have observational consequences. In this preliminary work, we parameterize the turbulence damping rate and lay the groundwork for incorporating more realistic physical models of turbulence generation and dissipation in nonlinear DSA. This work was support in part by NASA ATP grant NNX07AG79G.
