Diffraction of hydromagnetic shocks
Abstract
The diffraction of a plane hydromagnetic shock, propagating perpendicularly to the magnetic field, by a wedge-like wall of small angle is discussed. It is observed that the solution is multi-valued. An appeal to the physics of the problem was found necessary to select a unique solution.
