In general, the collisional mean free path for a post-shock particle is very long and thus conduction is particularly inefficient. However even a very weak magnetic field can give ions a gyroradius much shorter than the diameter of a typical ISM cloud. Heat conduction then possible.
As the cloud is immersed in hot gas (for instance, after the main blast wave has passed by) a conduction front moves into the cloud at vcond. Vcond depends strongly on the efficiency of radiative heat loss. If radiative losses in the front are large, vcond < cs. If radiative losses are minor compared with the heat flux (non-radiative), vcond > cs and a shock-like set of jump conditions develops. It appears that older SNRs (Cygnus) have radiation-dominated conduction fronts while younger SNRs (CasA) are non-radiative (McKee & Cowie 1975).
It should be pointed out that for any reasonable set of astrophysical conditions, thermal conduction is a very slow process and thus probably does not play a major role in shaping SNR morphology. The time scale for cloud shocks and conduction fronts are related by
