Nonlinear dynamics of magnetohydrodynamic flows of a heavy fluid in the shallow water approximation
The system of the magnetohydrodynamic equations for a heavy fluid has been analyzed in the shallow water approximation. All discontinuous self-similar solutions and all continuous centered self-similar solutions have been found. It has been shown that magnetogravity compression waves are broken with the formation of a magnetogravity shock wave. The initial decay discontinuity problem for the magnetohydrodynamic equations has been solved in the explicit form in the shallow water approximation. The existence of five different configurations implementing the solution of the decay of an arbitrary discontinuity has been demonstrated. The conditions necessary and sufficient for the implementation of each configuration have been found.
