The similarity properties are presented in Table 1.In order to evaluate the hydrodynamic parameters of the postshock region,the quantities are estimated when the reverse shock is located at 200μm from the obstacle,according to the simulations.The characteristic parameters(plasma flow velocity vflow,post-shock densityρpsand temperature Tps)and the cooling parameter are compared with the data from the polar prototype AM Herculis star in high-state accretion[24].The Mach number(M)of the reverse shock is defined as(vflow-vshock)/cs,ps.The cooling parameter(χ)in the post-shock region characterizes the balance between the radiative processes and the hydrodynamics in the radiative zone[12],and then the astrophysical relevance of such laboratory targets.In such a process where radiation effects are of some relevance,the cooling parameter offers a qualitative hydrodynamic scaling.However,the atomic physics processes might only be partially addressed by such a macroscopic dimensionless number.The cooling parameter is defined as the ratio between the cooling time and the dynamical time in the post-shock region.The dynamical time is defined as the ratio of the length of the post-shock region to the sound velocity.The cooling time is determined as the ratio of the internal energy density to the emissivity of the medium.Due to the relatively low temperature and high density of the laboratory plasma compared to the astrophysical regime,the plasma emissivity is not due to the bremsstrahlung cooling.Thus the laboratory emissivity of the medium is given by~κPσT4,whereκPandσare respectively the Planck mean opacity and the Stefan–Boltzmann constant.
