Abstract
Ion acoustic shock waves in dissipative plasmas are studied. The target medium contains Relativistic ions, nonthermal electrons and positrons with Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution. Kinematic viscosity among the plasma constituents has been considered. The effects of kinematic viscosity on the general behavior of plasma and specifically on nonthermal distribution of electrons are studied. Results would be helpful for understanding the localized structures that may occur in space plasmas.
