Self-Similar Magnetohydrodynamic Shock Waves for a Rotating Atmosphere Under the Force of Gravitation
Abstract
A study has been made of self-similar magnetohydrodynamic spherical shock waves for a rotating atmosphere taking into account the effect of self-gravitation. The energy is assumed to vary with some power of time. A study has been made to investigate the effects of magnetic field in the presence and absence of gravitation. The variation of flow variables is shown in tables for several different cases of physical interest.
