Abstract
Abstract
The influence of light pressure on plane and spherical plasma flows is treated. Numerical calculations show that smooth laser pulses lead to formation of an overdense plateau if thermal transport is non-negligible there, and that an originally supersonic flow becomes subsonic in this region. The results are consistent with analytical considerations. Density humps, as reported in the literature, are found in conjunction with spiking pulses or prepulses only.
