Abstract
The shock thickness is estimated for a stationary shock in an ideal gas by equating the internal entropy production to the entropy increase found from the Rankine–Hugoniot equation. For elementary assumed profiles, the thickness is expressed by a simple formula. For realistic dependence of viscosity on temperature, results are in qualitative agreement with experiment.
