Computation of shock waves in plasma

A multitemperature code intended for the numerical solution of the multicomponent gas dynamics equations in problems with a high energy density in matter is described. The velocities of all components with nonzero masses are assumed to be identical. Together with transport of gases with a tabulated equation of state, the code can include electron heat conduction, radiative transfer, energy exchange between the components, and chemical reactions. The gasdynamic part is based on Godunov's scheme and an efficient Riemann solver with an approximate local equation of state.
