Propagation of cylindrical magneto-gasdynamic shock wave with varying energy in a rotating, gravitating, non-uniform atmosphere

Abstract

A self similar, theoretical model of propagation of cylindrical magneto-gasdynamic shock wave with varying energy in a non-uniform atmosphere, in the interplanetary region, in the presence of rotation and gravitation, has been developed. Subsequently, its comparison with the gas dynamic case has been shown with the help of variations of flow variables with distance graphically. It is seen that the presence of magnetic field generates very high energy at the instant of explosion and its absence in gasdynamic model makes the variation of energy docile.
