Strong cylindrical shock waves in magnetogasdynamics
A method is developed for finding the distribution of velocity, density, pressure, and magnetic field behind an expanding strong cylindrical shock wave in an infinitely conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field. In the flow of such a fluid there are two distinct methods for producing a strong shock: by fixing the density ratio across the shock, as in the non-magnetic case; and by imposing a large magnetic field, such that the Alfven velocity is very much larger than the speed of sound. The distribution of the various physical quantities and the velocity of propagation of the shock are discussed for both cases, and numerical results are given.
