The present study consists of two parts. Here in Part 1, a model set of conservation laws exactly preserving the MHD hyperbolic singularities is investigated to develop the general theory of the nonlinear evolution of MHD shock waves. Great emphasis is placed on shock admissibility conditions. By developing the viscosity admissibility condition, it is shown that the intermediate shocks are necessary to ensure that the planar Riemann problem is well-posed. In contrast, it turns out that the evolutionary condition is inappropriate for determining physically relevant MHD shocks. In the general non-planar case, by studying canonical cases, we show that the solution of the Riemann problem is not necessarily unique – in particular, that it depends not only on reference states but also on the associated internal structure. Finally, the stability of intermediate shocks is discussed, and a theory of their nonlinear evolution is proposed. In Part 2, the theory of nonlinear waves developed for the model is applied to the MHD problem. It is shown that the topology of the MHD Hugoniot and wave curves is identical to that of the model problem.

In Part 1 of this study, a model set exactly preserving the MHD hyperbolic singularities was considered. By developing the viscosity admissibility condition, it was shown that the intermediate shocks are necessary to ensure that the planar Riemann problem is well-posed. Here in Part 2, the MHD Rankine–Hugoniot condition and rarefaction-wave relations are presented in phase space, which allows construction of analytical solutions of the planar MHD Riemann problem. In this process, a viscosity admissibility condition is proposed to determine physically admissible shocks. A complete account of MHD Hugoniot loci is given, leading to a classification of several subproblems in which the solution patterns are qualitatively same. Finally, it is shown that the planar MHD Riemann problem is well-posed using intermediate shocks that have been considered non-evolutionary.

The fluid dynamics of MHD shock waves in magnetized molecular gas is reviewed. The different types of shock solutions, and the circumstances under which the different types occur, are delineated. Current theoretical work on C∗- and J-type shocks, and on the stability of C-type shocks, is briefly described. Observations of the line emission from MHD shocks in different regions appear to be in conflict with theoretical expectations for single, plane-parallel shocks. Replacement of plane-parallel shocks by bow shocks may help reconcile theory and observation, but it is also possible that the observed shocks may not be “steady”, or that theoretical models have omitted some important physics.

AbstractThe projection data obtained using the computed tomography (CT) technique are often incomplete and inconsistent owing to the radiation exposure and practical environment of the CT process, which may lead to a few-view reconstruction problem. Reconstructing an object from few projection views is often an ill-posed inverse problem. To solve such problems, regularization is an effective technique, in which the ill-posed problem is approximated considering a family of neighboring well-posed problems. In this study, we considered the {\ell_{1/2}} regularization to solve such ill-posed problems. Subsequently, the half thresholding algorithm was employed to solve the {\ell_{1/2}} regularization-based problem. The convergence analysis of the proposed method was performed, and the error bound between the reference image and reconstructed image was clarified. Finally, the stability of the proposed method was analyzed. The result of numerical experiments demonstrated that the proposed method can outperform the classical reconstruction algorithms in terms of noise suppression and preserving the details of the reconstructed image.

The experimental progress of laser equation of state (EOS) studies at Shanghai Institute of Laser Plasma (SILP) is discussed in this paper. With a unique focal system, the uniformity of the laser illumination on the target surface is improved and a laser-driven shock wave with good spatial planarity is obtained. With an inclined aluminum target plane, the stability of shock waves are studied, and the corresponding thickness range of the target of laser-driven shock waves propagating steadily are given. The shock adiabats of Cu, Fe, SiO2 are experimentally measured. The pressure in the material is heightened remarkably with the flyer increasing pressure, and the effect of the increasing pressure is observed. Also, the high-pressure shock wave is produced and recorded in the experimentation of indirect laser-driven shock waves with the hohlraum target.

AbstractFor 2D elastic-plastic flows with the hypo-elastic constitutive model and von Mises’ yielding condition, the non-conservative character of the hypo-elastic constitutive model and the von Mises’ yielding condition make the construction of the solution to the Riemann problem a challenging task. In this paper, we first analyze the wave structure of the Riemann problem and develop accordingly aFour-Rarefaction wave approximateRiemannSolver withElastic waves (FRRSE). In the construction of FRRSE one needs to use an iterative method. A direct iteration procedure for four variables is complex and computationally expensive. In order to simplify the solution procedure we develop an iteration based on two nested iterations upon two variables, and our iteration method is simple in implementation and efficient. Based on FRRSE as a building block, we propose a 2nd-order cell-centered Lagrangian numerical scheme. Numerical results with smooth solutions show that the scheme is of second-order accuracy. Moreover, a number of numerical experiments with shock and rarefaction waves demonstrate the scheme is essentially non-oscillatory and appears to be convergent. For shock waves the present scheme has comparable accuracy to that of the scheme developed by Maire et al., while it is more accurate in resolving rarefaction waves.
