Abstract
Jump conditions of the parameters (mass flow, momentum flow and energyflow) of a shock with current (thereby, electric and magnetic field) incylindrical non-neutral plasma are presented and derived from Maxwell'sequations and two fluid equations for electron and ion fluid. Thecritical Mach number for the shock existence is calculated, whichdepends on the shock carried current, the ion charge, and thecomposition of the magnetic and thermal pressure. The numerical resultsshow that both the strength and profiles of the downstream shockparameters will be affected obviously by the shock carried current,electric and magnetic field in the two-dimensional shock.
