Sakurai, A

An investigation was made as to what kind of phenomena may be expected when a shock wave propagates through a nonuniform medium of decreasing density and reaches the boundary where the density vanishes. This situation may arise for shock waves moving in plasmas sustained by magnetic pressure. (T.R.H.)
