Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, a theory of kinetic Alfvenic shock wave in the solar wind is presented. There ekist nonlinear interaction and dispersion in the kinetic Alfven wave regime. Thus, theoretically the kinetic Alfven shock wave can occur. Based on this idea, a two fluld model combined with the abnormal damping of ion acoustic wave is considered, and then the inunediate shock structure is obtained by numerical simulation.
