Abstract

An approximate analytical solution for self-similar flow behind a spherically-symmetric magnetogasdynamic strong shock wave is investigated using the method of Laumbach and Probstein (1969). The total energy of flow is taken to be dependent on the shock radius obeying a power law. The shock is propagating into a perfect gas at rest with non-uniform density and magnetic field.
