In this paper we study the formation and evolution of radiative accretion shocks in the context of accretion columns in magnetic cataclysmic variables. The phenomenon induces extreme regimes of matter and the radiation emitted by those region dominates the observed emission from polars. A 2D hydrodynamical code, HYDRO-COOL, has been developed in order to deal with high-Mach number flows and is currently...
In this paper we present the experimental simulation of the accretion column in magnetic cataclysmic variables using high-power lasers. With an appropriate target and adapted diagnostics, the dynamics and the main physical properties of laboratory accreting plasma have been characterised. The results obtained validate the experimental design and prove the formation of a reverse shock which compresses...
