Abstract

The blast wave produced by an explosion of wire under the influence of a magnetic field has been studied in this paper. Conductivity of the gas is assumed to be infinite. Numerical integration has been performed using the Runge-Kutta method and the distribution of flow variables behind the shock wave is shown graphically.
