Shocks that occur below a gamma-ray burst (GRB) jet photosphere are mediated by radiation. Such radiation-mediated shocks (RMSs) could be responsible for shaping the prompt GRB emission. Although well studied theoretically, RMS models have…
We calculate the dissipation efficiency of relativistic reconfinement shocks. Building on previous work (Nalewajko & Sikora 2009), we consider different distributions of the external pressure. The average dissipation efficiency epsilon_diss…
Rankine-Hugoniot shock adiabats are calculated in the pressure range 1 Mbar-10 Gbar with two atomic-structure models: the atom in a spherical cell and the atom in a jellium of charges. These quantum self-consistent-field models include…
Ammonia is predicted to be one of the major components in the depths of the ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune. Their dynamics, evolution, and interior structure are insufficiently understood and models rely imperatively on data for…
Estimating the cosmic-ray acceleration efficiency $ \epsilon $ in supernova remnants (SNRs) through observations is a challenging task in general. Based on the Rankine-Hugoniot shock conditions, we find an anticorrelation between $ \epsilon…
Shock tubes provide well-controlled high-temperature and high-pressure conditions for chemical kinetics studies, yet the region behind the reflected shock is seldom perfectly homogeneous. Axial and radial gradients arise from shock…
The principal Hugoniot of carbon, initially diamond, was measured from 3 to 80 TPa (30 to 800 million atmospheres), the highest pressure ever achieved, using radiography of spherically-converging shocks. The shocks were generated by…
Numerical simulations of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in an ideal gas, using either the anelastic approximation or the fully compressible equations, are compared. Theoretically, the anelastic approximation is expected to hold in…
We report ab initio calculations of the melting curve and Hugoniot of molybdenum for the pressure range 0-400 GPa, using density functional theory (DFT) in the projector augmented wave (PAW) implementation. We use the ``reference…
Using an advanced version of the hadron resonance gas model we have found indications for irregularities in data for hadrons produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These include an abrupt change of the effective number of degrees of…
A novel capsule target design to improve the hot-spot pressure in the high-adiabat implosion for inertial confinement fusion is proposed, where a layer of comparatively high-density material is used as a pusher between the fuel and the…
The key aspect determining the post-formation luminosity of gas giants has long been considered to be the energetics of the accretion shock at the planetary surface. We use 1D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations to study the radiative loss…
Time-resolved radiography can be used to obtain absolute shock Hugoniot states by simultaneously measuring at least two mechanical parameters of the shock, and this technique is particularly suitable for one-dimensional converging shocks…
We present a post-processing tool for GADGET-2 adiabatic simulations to model various observed properties of the Ly$\alpha$ forest at $2.5 \leq z \leq 4$ that enables an efficient parameter estimation. In particular, we model the thermal…
We report a theoretical equation of state (EOS) table for boron across a wide range of temperatures (5.1$\times$10$^4$-5.2$\times$10$^8$ K) and densities (0.25-49 g/cm$^3$), and experimental shock Hugoniot data at unprecedented high…
Thermal transpiration effects are commonly encountered in low pressure measurements with capacitance diaphragm gauges. They arise from the temperature difference between the measurement volume and the temperature stabilised manometer.…
We compute the Hugoniot curves of both neat TATB and its detonation products mixture using atomistic simulation tools. To compute the Hugoniot states, we adapted our "Sampling Constraints in Average" (SCA) method (Maillet et al., Applied…
An anisotropic equation of state is proposed for accurate extrapolation of high-pressure shock Hugoniot states to other thermodynamics states for shocked single crystals and polycrystalline alloys. The proposed equation of state represents…
We study the high-pressure melting behavior of titanium using laser-driven shock compression with in situ femtosecond x-ray diffraction and molecular-dynamics simulations based on a machine-learned interatomic potential. The MD simulations…
(abridged)Prompt GRB emission is often interpreted as synchrotron radiation from high-energy electrons accelerated in internal shocks. Fast synchrotron cooling predicts that the photon index below the spectral peak is alpha=-3/2. This…
