Ion‐acoustic shocks in the diaphragm problem are examined with a hybrid particle‐in‐cell computer simulation scheme that treats ions as particles and electrons as an isothermal fluid. Phase space plots and density profiles are given for flows from initial density jumps 1.2≤R = nI/nII≤15, with initial temperatures 1≤θ = Te/TiII≤60 and for times out to ωpiIIt≤60, where II denotes the original low‐density conditions. For R = 1.2, results are in close accord with previous exact linearized solutions. The flows contain nearly antisymmetric compression and expansion regions, with embedded wavelets at θ = 30, Landau damped away for θ≤5. New nonlinear features include (a) an increase of the shock Mach number from 1.00 to 1.48, as R = 1.2→15 at θ = 30, and a constant Mach number ( = 1.20) for R = 3 and variable θ; (b) a precursor ahead of the θ = 30 fron traveling at 1.60 to 1.80 times the front speed for 1.6≤R≤15, (c) wash‐out of the wavelets behind the front at large R due to increased Landau damping from heighte...
