The nonlinear behaviour of short-wavelength perturbations in the two-fluid cosmic-ray hydrodynamical model is examined. We show that such a perturbation leads to shock formation and derive the appropriate wave equation. We show that a discontinuous perturbation incident on a weak cosmic-ray shock destabilizes, in a time-asymptotic sense, the shock.

This paper investigates the stability of a cosmic ray shock to long-wavelength perturbations. The problem is formulated in terms of finding the transmission coefficient for compressive waves across a cosmic ray shock by solving the generalized, two-fluid Rankine-Hugoniot relations. For strong shocks, the transmission coefficient confirms that compressive waves can undergo considerable amplification on passage through such shocks. The resonances of the transmission coefficient provides us with the dispersion equation governing the stability of the shock to long-wavelength ripple-like distortions. By using the principle of the argument method, it is established that cosmic ray shocks are stable.
