Abstract
The propagation of cylindrical shock wave in rotational axisymmetric perfect gas under isothermal flow condition with azimuthal magnetic field is investigated. Distributions of gas dynamical quantities are discussed. The density, magnetic pressure, azimuthal fluid velocity and axial fluid velocity are assumed to be varying according to power law with distance from the axis of symmetry in the undisturbed medium. Approximate analytical solutions are obtained by expanding flow variables in power series. Zeroth-order and first-order approximations are discussed with the aid of power series method. Solutions for zeroth-order approximation are constructed in approximate analytical form. The effect of flow parameters namely: shock Cowling number \(C_{0}\), ambient density variation index q and adiabatic exponent \(\gamma \) are studied on the flow variables. Consideration of magnetic pressure increases the total energy of disturbance of zeroth order while with increase in ambient density variation index or adiabatic exponent, the total energy of disturbance decreases.
