Summary

In this paper, we have postulated, in a conducting gas, the occurrence of a boundary shock wave, considered as a quick transition region in which the viscous effects are compressive and are confined to a thin layer adjacent to a surface. The analogues of the well known Rankine-Hugoniot jump relations, Prandtl relation, and other properties of a shock wave are derived and a discussion about the existence of a boundary shock wave is made.
