Abstract
The structure of one-dimensional shock waves is investigated using the Navier-Stokes equation for the gas phase. The resulting system of three ordinary nonlinear differential equations is reduced to a system of two autonomous nonlinear differential equations which are solved exactly. This solution is obtained formally by assuming that the viscosity is temperature dependent, and that the heat conductivity is neglected.
