Strong Spherical Shock Wave Propagation in a Self-Gravitating RMHD Rotating Interplanetary Medium
Abstract
In the present paper, we have discussed the propagation of spherical shock waves in a radiating magnetohydrodynamic rotating interplanetary medium. The effects of force of self-gravitation have been taken into account with the assumption that at the equilibrium position the effects of rotation on the force of gravitation are negligible. The combined effects of rotation and gravitation on the variation of flow variables have been shown in tables. The particular cases of the problem have been discussed and compared by considering effects of rotation and gravitation separately.
