Abstract

A theory of shocks dominated by radiation energy flux in optically mixed thin-upstream thick-downstream systems, in which the temperature immediately ahead and some short distance behind the shock front are equilibrated by radiation transport, is presented. This theory is applied to determine properties of the normal and oblique radiative shock, followed by applications to interactions when radiative and polytropic shocks are present in the same system. Comparison with experimental data is presented.
