| contents | The physical quantities in a gas should vary continuously across a shock. However, the physics inherent in the compressible Euler equations is insufficient to describe the width or structure of the shock. We demonstrate the existence of weak shock profiles to the kinetic Landau equation, that is, traveling wave solutions with Maxwellian asymptotic states whose hydrodynamic quantities satisfy the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions. These solutions serve to capture the structure of weak shocks at the kinetic level. Previous works considered only the Boltzmann equation with hard sphere and angular cut-off potentials. |
