Low angular momentum accretion flows very often have centrifugal pressure supported standing shock waves which can accelerate flow particles. The accelerated particles in turn emit synchrotron radiation in presence of magnetic fields.…
The formation of thermoacoustic shocks is studied in a fluid complex plasma. The thermoacoustic wave mode can be damped (or anti-damped) when the contribution from the thermoacoustic interaction is lower (or higher) than that due to the…
Shock-driven turbulence is central to astrophysical plasmas in which explosions and compressive driving inject energy through shocks rather than steady stirring. We present three-dimensional, three-temperature (ion, electron, and radiation;…
