Abstract
Acoustic waves can be amplified in a gas that has a nonequilibrium energy distribution among its internal degrees of freedom and is subjected to chemical reactions, external irradiation, electrical discharges, etc. [1-4]. This phenomenon magnifies the role of nonlinear effects and leads to the formation of shock waves [5-7]. The generation and propagation of shock waves are of major importance, because their occurrence in the active medium of gas lasers can cut off emission [8] and significantly lower the efficiency of chemical reactions in plasmatrons [9].
