2 Shocks occur in supersonic flows; Shocks are sudden jumps in velocity, density and pressure; Shocks satisfy flux in = flux out principle for - mass flux - momentum flux - energy flux

3 Three conservation laws means three fluxes for flux in = flux out! ( ρv) ( ρv) = 1 Mass flux ( ) ( ρv P ρv P) + = + 1 Momentum flux V γp V γp ρv + = ρv + ( γ 1) ρ ( γ 1) ρ 1 Energy flux Three equations for three unknowns: post-shock state () is uniquely determined by pre-shock state (1)!

4 = 1 V γ P + = = ( 1) γ ρ V γp V γp ρv ρv + = + ( γ 1) ρ ( γ 1) ρ ( ρv) ( ρv) 1 constant

5 1D case: Mach Number s pre-shock flow speed V = = pre-shock sound speed C s 1 Shocks can only exist if s >1! Weak shocks: s =1+e with e<< 1; Strong shocks: s >> 1.

6 V 1 S = = Cs 1 upstream flow speed upstream sound speed Shocks all have S > 1 r ρ ρ V V 1 = = = 1 γ + 1 ( ) γ 1 + ( ) Compression ratio: density contrast P P 1 γ = 1+ 1 γ + 1 ( ) Pressure jump

10 All relations remain the same if one makes the replacement: V V = V cos θ, = V / C = cosθ 1 n1 1 1 S n n1 s1 S 1 θ is the angle between upstream velocity and normal on shock surface Tangential velocity along shock surface is unchanged V = V sinθ = V = V sinθ t1 1 1 t

18 Tycho s Remnant (SN 157AD)

19 Assumptions: 1. Explosion takes place in uniform medium with density ρ;. spherical expanding fireball! 3. Total available energy: E. Point explosion + uniform medium: no EXTERNAL scale imposed on the problem!

20 Dimensional analysis: [ E] [ m][ ] [ t] [ ρ] =, = [ m] [ ] 3 Et ρ 1/5 R S is a length! Sedov: fireball radius ~ Sedov radius R S rt () R() t t S /5

21 Steps: 1. Photo dissociation of Iron in hot nucleus star: loss of (radiation) pressure!. Collapse of core under its own weight formation of proto-neutron star when ρ ~ g/cm 3 3. Gravitational binding energy becomes more negative: positive amount of energy is lost from the system! 4. Core Bounce shock formation and ejection envelope

22 Evolution of a massive star (5 solar masses) Core collapse: t ~ 0. s (!) Collapse onset: photo-dissociation of iron

29 Main properties: 1. Strong shock propagating through the Interstellar Medium; (or through the wind of the progenitor star). Different expansion stages: - Free expansion stage (t < 1000 yr) R t - Sedov-Taylor stage (1000 yr < t < 10,000 yr) R t /5 - Pressure-driven snowplow (10,000 yr < t < 50,000 yr) R t 3/10

32 - Expansion decelerates due to swept-up mass; - Interior of the bubble is reheated due to reverse shock; - Hot bubble is preceded in ISM by strong shock: - the supernova blast wave.
