Abstract
A general procedure has been developed for solving the equations governing the electron gas in a breakdown wave. The procedure has been carried out in detail for shock fronted waves. Profiles of the controlling variables are given. A comparison of the calculation of the wave velocity from first principles with the most recent experimental data show excellent agreement even without arbitrary normalization.Keywords
