Abstract
An analytic model developed by Ao et al.[1] describes the interaction of turbulence with a thin MHD shock. The interaction is governed by a modified Burgers’ equation. In this paper, we solve the modified Burgers’ equation numerically for arbitrary oblique MHD shocks. Starting with the classical ideal MHD Rankine‐Hugoniot condition, we introduce a perturbed upstream and demonstrate the evolution of the oblique MHD shock structure. We also show the dependence of shock‐turbulence interaction on different oblique angles. Our results show that turbulence plays a very important role in modifying shock front structure for oblique MHD shocks. When turbulence is modifying shock front structure, the oblique angle is another important factor. Larger oblique angle turns out to be able to creat a wider smoothed ramp in some regions and higher compression ratio in other regions.
