Abstract
Similarity solutions, for one-dimensional unsteady of a perfect gas behind a spherical shock wave produced on account of a sudden explosion or driven out by an expanding piston including the effects of radiative cooling and an idealised azimuthal magnetic field, are studied. The shock is assumed to be strong and it is propagating into a transparent medium at rest with varying density. The magnetic field is proportional tor −1. The total energy of the wave is time dependent obeying a power law.
