A numerical solution to the problem of self-consistent diffusive shock acceleration is presented. The cosmic rays are scattered, accelerated and exert a back-reaction on the gas through their interaction with turbulence frozen into the local fluid frame. Using a grid with a hierarchical spacetime structure the physically interesting limit of Bohm diffusion (к ∝ pv), which introduces a wide range of diffusion lengthscales and acceleration timescales, can be studied. Some implications for modified shocks and particle acceleration are presented.

Subject headings: acceleration of particles — cosmic rays — diffusion — shock waves
