Turbulent Heating of Solar Wind Plasma Downstream of Magnetohydrodynamic Shocks

Interplanetary (IP) shocks are believed to play a significant role in both amplifying the background level of turbulent fluctuations and in heating the bulk solar wind (SW). This study investigates the thermodynamic properties downstream of IP shocks. We examine the temperature, density, and specifi...
