| Abstract: |
Many diffuse astrophysical media consist of multiple components, and their multicomponent natures affect the evolution of shocks in them. The focus here is on three problems concerning multicomponent models of media containing shocks. The subject of the first is the cosmic ray modification of shocks in supernova remnants and recently begun efforts to model observed shocks in the Tycho and Cygnus Loop remnants. The next involves shocks in the central 25 kpc of the Perseus cluster of galaxies which may contain an AGN-driven fountain flow in which multiple phase changes occur. The final one concerns multifluid models of shocks in magnetized, dense, dusty star forming regions. The exposition is mostly about work still in progress or that has not even fully begun. |
