Resolved shocks in clumpy media.

WILLIAMS R.J.R. and DYSON J.E.

Abstract (from CDS):

We study the structure of shocks in clumpy media, using a multifluid formalism. As expected, shocks broaden as they weaken: for sufficiently weak shocks, no viscous subshock appears in the structure. This has significant implications for the survival of dense clouds in regions overrun by shocks in a wide range of astrophysical circumstances, from planetary nebulae to the nuclei of starburst galaxies.
