We investigate the conditions for the existence of an expanding virial shock in the gas falling within a spherical dark-matter halo. The shock relies on pressure support by the shock-heated gas behind it. When the radiative cooling is…

We study the $L^2$-type contraction property of large perturbations around shock waves of scalar viscous conservation laws with strictly convex fluxes in one space dimension. The contraction holds up to a shift, and it is measured by a…

Recently we proposed a novel approach to the formulation of relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics by extending the so-called matching conditions in the Eckart frame [Phys. Rev. {\bf C 85}, (2012) 14906]. We extend this formalism further to…
