Shock Turbulence Interaction with Plasma Viscosity

Plasma viscosity is a strong function of the background temperature. In strong shocks, the temperature of the plasma can increase immensely. We investigate how turbulence in a plasma may be dissipated under consideration of these combined effects, as was previously found for the case of a turbulent plasma undergoing metric compression \footnote{S. Davidovits \& N. J. Fisch, \textbf{Phy. Rev. Lett.} 116, 2016}. When the net increase of viscosity is not strong, nonunique outcomes of final turbulent energy under multiple shocks are also considered.
