Abstract
The propagation of compressional shocks in two-dimensional (2D) dusty plasmas is investigated using MD simulations under various conditions. The shock Hugoniot curves of the relationship between the shock front speed D and the mean particle speed v[over ¯] after shocks are obtained and analytically fit to parabolic expressions. As the screening parameter increases, the weaker Yukawa interparticle interaction cause the shock Hugoniot curves to be more linear. Combining the obtained shock Hugoniot curves with the Rankine-Hugoniot jump relations, analytic expressions of pressure and energy after the shocks in 2D Yukawa systems are obtained, which are functions of the observable quantities, like the shock front speed D or the mean particle speed v[over ¯] or the specific volume.
