Abstract: Magnetized oblique shocks are of interest in various plasmas, including astrophysical systems, magneto-inertial confinement fusion experiments, and aerospace applications. Through experiments on the COBRA pulsed power facility (Cornell University, 1 MA peak current, 100 ns rise… read more here.

Abstract: A major attraction of diffusive shock acceleration is the prediction of power-law spectra for energetic particle distributions. However, this property is not fundamental to the theory. We demonstrate that for planar shocks with an oblique… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cgj-2025-0004
Abstract: Deflection barriers are often constructed to divert debris flows to less hazardous areas, where oblique shocks form upon impact. This study presents theoretical models for oblique shock against a deflection barrier, which predicts the runup… read more here.
