Propagation of a shock front, a narrow region in a fluid over which its thermodynamic state changes markedly. The thickness of the front is of order a few mean free paths in the medium ahead of the wave. Bradley, JN, 1962: Shock Waves in Chemistry and Physics, 1?.

| shock wave |
A shock wave is a very strong pressure wave in any elastic medium (such as air, water, or a solid), produced by supersonic craft, lightning, explosions, or other extreme phenomena that create sudden, huge changes in pressure. SHOEMAKER, EUGENE and CAROLYN Eugene Merle Shoemaker (1928-1997) and Carolyn Spellman Shoemaker (1929 - ) are scientists who have made many important discoveries in astronomy, finding many asteroids and comets. In 1994, Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker and David H. ...
