Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we show the usefulness of the ET6 theory for the analysis of the shock wave structure in a rarefied polyatomic gas. We compare the theoretical prediction derived from the ET6 theory with that from the ET14 theory. We see, in particular, that the thin layer in Type C with finite thickness described by the ET14 theory is replaced by a discontinuous jump, the sub-shock. The strength and the stability of a sub-shock is also discussed. Lastly the temperature overshoot at a sub-shock in terms of Meixner’s temperature is shown.
